The Story in Brief
A newborn baby, wrapped in a plastic cover, was abandoned at a junction in Naspur mandal centre in Mancherial on Monday. Locals spotted the baby and alerted police, who shifted the infant to a hospital. The child, weighing about 3 kg, is healthy and under doctors' observation. She will later be moved to a home run by the Women Development and Child Welfare department. A case has been registered, and investigations are under way.
The Indian Opinion
Each abandoned newborn story sparks outrage, but the real issue is why mothers feel they have no choice. Police and child welfare acted swiftly here, yet prevention remains absent. Until society addresses the stigma around unwed mothers and the state makes adoption channels accessible, such incidents will repeat. How many more newborns must be left on streets before we act?
