LUDHIANA: The district administration and Mother Child Hospital, after taking care of Nazia (35), a blind woman who was found from the city's railway station around two months ago handed her and her baby girl Noor Fatima alias Mannat to Swami Ganga Nand Bhoori Wale International Foundation, Talwandi Dham, on Wednesday. Nazia boarded a train in Gorakhpur her home town in UP for Fazilka in Punjab, and then came to Ludhiana, while begging in trains. All along she was trying to search for her husband Akbar, who had deserted her after she started losing her eyesight. Nazia was pregnant when she was found near the railway station in pain on July 12 by a sympathetic rickshaw puller who brought her to the Civil Hospital. Since then, she was being looked after for free by the hospital's Mother Child wing, where she also gave birth to her daughter on September 1. Due to the personal intervention of deputy commissioner Rajat Agarwal, it was decided that both mother and daughter would be handed over to Talwandi Dham. Agarwal assured Nazia that the foundation members would take good care of them, and as soon as the district administration came to know about her husband, they would make sure to unite them. The mother and daughter were both handed over to representatives of Talwandi Dham in the presence of deputy commissioner Rajat Agarwal, civil surgeon Dr Renu Chhatwal, senior medical officer Dr Parvinderpal Singh Sidhu, and the foundation's representatives Kuldip Singh and Bibi Jasvir Kaur. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
