In a bizarre event that happened in Uttar Pradesh, a 22-day-old baby girl was recovered from a wooden box in the Ganges. The baby was found in the Ganga flowing through the Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh.
The baby had apparently been found floating in a box in the river and was rescued by a boatman near Dadri Ghat. The baby was found wrapped in a dupatta along with photos of Hindu deities and a horoscope. The boatman then informed the police who went on to take the baby to the nearest Asha Jyoti Kendra. The authorities there took the baby to a hospital.
As soon as news reached Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath he named the baby as Ganga and assured that his government would take full responsibility for the upbringing of the child.
