For the age bracket you've cited, ratio of 0.94 should be normal. I'd worry for areas with less than 0.9 ratio. Punjab with 0.793 is too extreme. Ultimately the shortage of women (along with hopefully some education) will raise the value of women in the society and may even correct some of the male chauvinistic problems in the region. This may prove to be a blessing in disguise.
