In a distressing incident in Beed District, a 40-year-old widowed woman who survives by begging gave birth to a critically ill baby weighing just 1.4 kg. The newborn is currently in the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) receiving oxygen support, while the mother repeatedly returns to the streets to beg for money. Hospital staff report that she leaves the maternity ward to beg on the streets outside, often making as little as five to ten rupees.
The woman, who had previously lost a disabled child, told social workers that she wants the infant to be placed in a shelter home. A social activist has visited the hospital to provide assistance, but the infant's condition remains precarious, with medical staff confirming that stabilization and weight gain are necessary before discharge.
