AMBALA: A woman who died after giving birth to twins at the
Ambala Cantonment civil hospital on June 25 have been declared medically fit by doctors at the
neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the
Ambala City civil hospital on Monday.
The infants will soon get a new home through the central adoption resource authority (CARA) of the ministry of women and child development.
The Ambala child welfare committee (CWC) has named the infants and they will be shifted to Kaithal child care institution (CCI) on Tuesday.
“The twins will be available for adoption together through CARA and they will not be separated from each other,” told the CWC.
The CWC panel has named the baby boy as Vansh and baby girl as Vanshika.
Mohit Aggarwal, member of the CWC, said: “The twins have been declared medically fit by the doctors at the Ambala City hospital. They will be shifted to ‘Bal Upwan’, a CCI, in Kaithal district on Tuesday. They will be available for adoption once they are free from all legal matters after police clearance in Ambala. The process may take around two months of time. The babies will be up for adoption through CARA and our panel has decided not to separate them and they will be handed over to a family which is ready to adopt them together.”
It is notable that Uma Rani, 35, of Bihta village in
Ambala district, gave birth to the twins on June 21, but died on June 25. She was living alone at her maternal house in Bihta village and was married twice.
Ambala police contacted her sisters in Gharaunda in Karnal and Yamunanagar, and conducted proceedings under section 174 of the CrPC. Her sisters performed her last rites, but refused to take the custody of the infants stating that they were poor.
