Kundapur, Dec 31: It was a tragic sight witnessed by the people of Kundapur when the dead body of a new born baby was found floating in the river called Kasina Kadavu in Kharvi Keri, locality, comes under the municipal limit. 

The ace fisherman, Ananda Saranga was able to retrieve the dead body with the umbilical cord still intact.

The body was found to be that of a boy baby which was newly born, as it did not get decomposed.

The residents of Kundapur, off late are expressing remorse over such forced desertions and also anguish against several recent disposals of embryos packed in plastic bags, transported from Kundapur in buses, but later found in some drains at Bangalore.

It may be recalled here, that around eight years ago, a live body of a newborn baby was recovered from a municipal dustbin at Koteshwar which was eaten by stray dogs and crows.

The general public is apprehensive over the alarming cases of illicit relations which culminate in dumping the new born at their convenience or aborted at their own discretion.
