The girl was declared dead at Sub District Hospital Banihal, however, the locals found her alive during burial in the area.
According to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), the baby girl was rushed to Srinagar’s GB Pant hospital where she was undergoing treatment.
Basharat Hussain, father of the baby said that the baby girl has died in the wee hours today at the hospital.
Medical Superintendent of GB Pant, Dr Nazir Choudhary, said that the baby died today. “The baby was brought to the hospital due to low birth weight and respiratory distress,” he said.
