Newborn girl abandoned in Mayiladuthurai, Rescued by sanitation workers
In a disturbing incident, a newborn girl was discovered abandoned in a public toilet at the New Bus Stand in Mayiladuthurai, Tamil Nadu, on October 10. The infant, believed to be just a few hours old, was found by sanitation staff, who immediately took her to the hospital, where she is now receiving medical care.
The discovery was made after concerned individuals alerted the sanitation workers to an overturned bucket inside one of the bathroom stalls. Upon investigation, the workers were shocked to find the newborn lying under the bucket, her umbilical cord still intact. Acting quickly, the staff rushed the infant to the district government hospital, where she was handed over to the neonatal ward for urgent treatment. Hospital authorities have since confirmed that the baby is in stable condition and receiving the necessary care.
Local police have been informed and have launched an investigation to trace the parents. Authorities are working to uncover the reasons behind the abandonment and are urging the public for any information that could assist in identifying those responsible. At present, no suspects have been identified.
This incident follows a similar case just two days earlier in Pichavaram town, Cuddalore district, where another newborn girl was found abandoned behind a house. She was rescued by local villagers and taken to the hospital for treatment.

B'desh: Lawyer killed in clash between security personnel, followers of Hindu leader
Dhaka, Nov 26: A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between the security personnel and followers of a Hindu community leader, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a Bangladesh court, according to local media reports.
The victim was identified as Saiful Islam, a 35-year-old assistant public prosecutor and a member of the Chattogram District Bar Association, the Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported.
Citing Dr Nibedita Ghosh, a duty doctor at the emergency department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, the paper said that six others were injured in the clashes that erupted after Chattogram’s Sixth Metropolitan Magistrate court denied bail to prominent Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, arrested on sedition charges.
Nazim Uddin Chowdhury, president of the Chittagong Lawyers' Association, said that protesters dragged a lawyer from beneath his chamber and hacked him to death.
As Das was being taken away in a police van, he addressed the crowd through a hand mike, urging them to remain calm.
Around 3 pm, the law enforcement agencies resorted to sound grenades, tear gas shells, and baton charges, dispersing the protesters.
Deputy Commissioner of City Police Liaquat Ali confirmed one death but said they were still investigating the cause.
The Daily Star newspaper reported that at least 10 people, including journalists, were injured during the clash.
