The Assam Pradesh Mahila Congress has slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party-led authorities within the State for failing to test crimes against women.
The women’s wing additionally panned the Assam authorities for excessive maternal and toddler mortality charges regardless of claiming to have ramped up the healthcare infrastructure.
The criticism adopted the publication of the NITI Aayog’s Sustainable Development Goals India Index 2020-21, which marked Assam and some different north-eastern States as poor performers.
“It was once announced Assam would become one of the early States, if not the first in the country, to work towards achieving sustainable development goals by 2030. But the NITI Aayog’s report on SDG performance has accentuated the fake and false promises, particularly in the field of protecting, educating and improving the health of girls and women,” State Mahila Congress president Nandita Das mentioned.
She identified that the variety of crimes against women elevated from 4,46,116 throughout the 15-year tenure of Tarun Gogoi to five,97,095 throughout the 5 years of the BJP-led alliance authorities below Sarbananda Sonowal.
“Assam’s maternal mortality rate is 215 per one lakh compared to 43 in Kerala. Similarly, the infant mortality rate in Assam is 47 per 1,000 children compared to 10 in Kerala,” Ms. Das mentioned.
Total physicians, nurses, and midwives per 10,000 inhabitants are solely 23 in Assam whereas it’s 115 in Kerela, she added.
