For days, she lay in a pool of dirty rainwater, dogs lurking nearby, flies swarming her nine-month pregnant body. With just a filthy red chunni to cover her, she easily passed off as a bundle of rags dumped on a busy street. And it was a busy street — in Shankar Market, Connaught Place, at the feet
of thousands who walked past going to work, going shopping, returning home.
When the woman gave birth on July 26, it was on that dirty roadside. The newborn lay with her dazed mother, wailing. It was the crying that alerted a food-stall owner, who went to Ritu Arthur Frederick, who has a garment shop in the market.
Frederick was shocked to see dogs circling the day-old infant.
"The dogs looked like they would pounce on the infant."
In callous Delhi, she — and Karishma — will probably need another miracle.
Very very sad to hear this kind of news.Even if the people passing by are not able to help,they could have called some charity organisations for support.
