A new-born baby girl who was found in an abandoned state near Muslim Jama’ath mosque in Kuttitheruvu in Kayamkulam in the district on Monday morning was admitted to the Women and Children Hospital (WCH), Alappuzha.
The believers who came for morning prayers at the mosque heard cries of a baby and after a search found the baby wrapped in a saffron lungi nearby. The police who were alerted by the local people arrived and shifted the baby to the Kayamkulam taluk hospital. Later, they handed over the baby to the 108 Ambulance service staff.
The ambulance staff produced the baby before the District Child Welfare Committee (DCWC).
