Sex ratio at birth plunges in southern states

Tamil Nadu sex ratio fell from 935 in 2007 to 840, compared to the all-India figure of 877. In Karnataka, it fell from 1,004 to 896. In Telangana, it fell from 954 in 2013 to 881. Since most of these states have achieved near 100% registration of births, the low ratios cannot be because large numbers of female births aren’t getting registered.
