Get rid of new-born on city streets, no one will stop you: Kanpur streets are the best place to get rid of newly born babies. Here, the locals will not bother to ask you what you are dumping on the road. Worse is the role of the police and district administration where the officials will make tall claims initially and stop picking the phone later.

SSP, Yashashvi Yadav, who claimed that an immediate probe would be conducted into matter and KMC Hospital authorities would be interrogated on Sunday, seems to have forgotten the matter on Monday. The police had not taken any account of the incident till filing of this report.The SSP, who claimed to remain available on phone 24X7 for locals, did not pick up the phone even after repeated attempts.Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Dr R P Yadav, who also was supposed to question the hospital authorities, went to attend meeting in Lucknow.
