District collector Rizwan Basha Visit Abandoned Child in Jangaon

District collector Rizwan Basha Shaik and his wife visited the Mother and Child Health Care Centre (MCH) on Saturday to see the newborn baby boy who was abandoned nine days ago by unknown persons in Kilashapur village of Raghunathapally mandal, Jangaon district. 

The collector’s wife grew emotional as she held the infant. As a mother herself, she empathised deeply with the baby’s need for maternal affection and even fed him milk from a bottle. The couple enquired about the baby's health and the treatment being provided, interacting



with doctors and hospital staff.

Collector Basha also inspected the hospital's ‘Baby Cradle Point’ (Ooyala) and, speaking on the occasion, said that children are a gift from God and abandoning them is heart-wrenching. 

He urged that those unable to care for a child should make use of the Ooyala cradle point instead of leaving infants in unsafe locations. He assured that the identities of those who use the cradle point would be kept confidential and that the government would ensure a bright future for such children.
