Stressing the need for giving highest priority to the family planning activities, the speakers said the national development activities are being hampered due to the burden of over population.
Highlighting the necessity of expediting the village-level family planning activities, the speakers underlined the need for giving top priority to motivating the fertile couples so that they could control their unwanted pregnancy through using contraceptives.
“If we can control the unexpected pregnancies in the greater perspective, country’s population could be reduced to a tolerable rate easily,” said Noor- Ur-Rahman, adding the field level workers should be more careful and attentive to performing their respective duties.
