ALWAR: Despite the state government claiming that it has taken effective measures to curb feticide and infanticide and Aamir Khan's show 'Satyamev Jayate', too, has raised awareness, still some in the state are abandoning the girl child. On Sunday, a newborn girl was found abandoned at Maloni village in Dholpur district on Mother's day.
Villagers who went to the fields on Monday morning heard the cries of a baby and found an infant lying in the field. They informed the local police station and the medical department authorities too.
"The girl is alive and has been admitted to the ICU of government hospital, Dholpur. Since she was lying in the field throughout the night, she has problem in breathing and has got cold. We have put her on a ventilator and she is responding well," said a doctor of the government hospital.
As Aamir's show 'Satyamev Jayate' has created a lot of awareness against killing of the girl child, heavy rush of people was seen at the hospital and they were keen on doing something for the girl. Many people volunteered to adopt the girl if her parents could not be found.
Superintendent of the hospital, Hariom Garg said that despite the girl being born prematurely, her condition is improving. "She is born at seven months, still she is alive and okay. She has been responding well and hopefully will survive," Garg added.
The local police has deployed a woman constable at the hospital. "We have lodged a case and will definitely find out those who abandoned the girl," said a senior police officer.Link: Newborn girl found abandoned on Mother's day in Dholpur
