Delhiites Answerable..

"Baby was born on road battling for her life."

It was shameful reading this, that too after a month from when it took place. The people of Delhi have grown insensitive. They took no notice of Karishma, a baby girl, who was born to a poor woman, on a busy and dirty street in Connaught Place (CP)on July 26. After giving birth to the child the woman struggled to survive for four long days but eventually she succumbed to death as nobody came forward to help or take her to the hospital.

Now its Karishma's turn to struggle for her life. Even after a month she just weighs 700 grams and is suffering from severe blood infection.

Karishma, was born on the busy street in CP.

People could have acted responsibly to save her life. Karishma lost her mother and people were not bothered. It is a shame for all of us. Any person could have dialed 100( Police Control Room number) or 1091 ( Police helpline for women) to make sure she was taken to a government hospital. 
Unfortunately, people have turned heartless and oblivious to the suffering of others. It is shocking and and disgraceful.
How could Delhiites turn a blind eye to this? Did it not prick anybody's conscience? 
Yes it did, as Ritu Fredrick, a garment shop owner in CP, took the baby under her care and now she is trying to get the custody of the baby. 
This tragedy raises a finger at humanity but also shows that it has not been completely lost.
In my opinion, Ritu Fredrick, alone kept the spirit of humanity alive which other Delhiites failed to do.
