New born baby girl found abandoned in garbage in Gurgaon

A new born baby girl was found abandoned in a dumping ground in Haryana’s Gurgaon township on Wednesday.After being found in the garbage, the infant was admitted to the nearest government hospital.Doctor Umesh Mehta, a pediatrician at the hospital, said the infant was born pre-mature and her body was bruised.“The baby is pre-term and has a low birth rate, and therefore, she is going through the problems that a pre-mature child would face. There are few injury marks on her body, but there is nothing serious. But she is having all the problems of pre-maturity and low birth rate. There are abrasions, may be she was dropped, so she has some abrasions,” said Mehta.“She is going through the problems faced by a pre-mature child and these are expected. We are taking care of her,” he added.Of late there has been a surge in the number of cases of baby girls being abandoned by their parents. Recently, two-year-old battered baby Falak died of cardiac arrest at a hospital in New Delhi, after she was admitted in the hospital in January with fractured skull, bruises and human bites marks all over her body.A similar incident had sent shock waves when a three-day old baby girl was found abandoned near a bus stand in Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh.
