Srinagar, Mar 14 (ANI): An infant girl was abandoned by a woman, who appeared to be her mother, at Ward Number 2 of GB Pant Hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Srinagar area. The baby girl, as per doctors, has a congenital problem that they feel would have been the reason for her being 'unwanted'. The girl is the second abandoned child housed in the hospital. Earlier, a baby boy was found on the stairs of Makhdoom Sahib Shrine in Srinagar. He was also admitted in the hospital for nurture and care. The baby boy has a neurologic disorder. However, the doctors said, the issues are not such that the child needs a hospital stay. In absence of a proper system in place, abandoned children are admitted at GB Pant Children Hospital. The doctor further added that both the infants will be provided medical care.
