Eight women have died in India and dozens more are in hospital, many in a critical condition, after a state-run mass sterilisation.

Some 83 women underwent laparoscopic tubectomy operations in a hospital at a family planning camp organised by the state government outside Bilaspur city.

"Since Monday eight women have died and 64 are in various hospitals," said Sonmani Borah, a government official in the state of Chhattisgarh, where the sterilisation camp was held.

Dr Kamalpreet Singh, director of the state's health services, said: "Certainly there was some lapse somewhere. We are trying to find out its causes."

Under the state government's population planning programme, a woman is given 1,400 Indian rupees (£15) for the operation.

Health workers who bring women to the camps get a 200 rupee (£2) commission.

Well, they won’t be having any more babies, so it was a successful government operation (pardon the pun).. That’s the way Obama’s cult would spin it.

Let me guess. Since the PROCEDURE was sterilization there was no need to sterilize the equipment?

What a lame explanation. Obviously it's the result of a lack of funding.

With all the contraceptive options available, rendering young women permanently barren is unnecessary.
As India is emerging from third world status, the birthrate will go down without such drastic measures.

The only thing governments are proficient at are taxing and killing.
