DNA Technology Bill: Here’s why the Centre is withdrawing a bill passed four years ago in Lok Sabha
The Bill was first introduced and passed in Lok Sabha in January 2019 but it lapsed as it could not be passed in Rajya Sabha due to objections from opposition parties. The government again passed the bill in Lok Sabha in July 2019 and it was sent to a standing committee.
The bill laid out the procedure of DNA sample collection and storage from various individuals.
