Dr Kimngaihching Simte said that world population day is not about birth control but about family planning and the care for the mother and child, including child marriage and birth control but not abortion. She said that if someone wants a big or small family, they have to articulately plan about the duration of the child birth as per the requirement, especially the health of the mother.
Dr Kh Sania Monica said that the day is observed on 11 July every year but due to some technical issue it was held on Thursday while stressing about creating awareness for the rights of a mother and women as per WHO guideline.
