Organ thieves, beware

The All-India Association for Voluntary Donations of Human Organs After Death has launched a campaign against illegal organ transplants, directed at nurses, clerks, ward boys and other paramedical personnel. A reward of Rs 11,000 awaits anyone providing information on such operations. Following a tip-off, representatives of the Association will verify the legality of an operation and, if necessary, arrange for a police raid to arrest the surgeons. The identity of the informant is kept a secret.
