The twins, boy and girl, were rushed to nearby Shankarapur Hospital after they were spotted in a bush by locals. According to Dr Ramesh Dhakal, the hospital director, both the newborns are healthy except for a normal chest infection due to exposure to cold.[break]
"Their health did not deteriorate much as locals happened to rescue in less than an hour after they were left abandoned," Dr Dhakal said. "We will keep treating them for a week until they are fully cured. We have informed the authorities about the finding of unattended babies."
The babies found unattended are generally handed over to persons, who would like to have a foster child, subject to approval of the district administration office.
