Four stillborn babies found in garbage

Four stillborn babies were found inside plastic containers at a dumping ground near Tuirial river, about 20 km from here.

The babies were found by garbage disposal workers at the dumping ground of Mizoram Urban Development and Poverty Alleviation department on Monday, health department sources said.

While the babies are suspected to be victims of abortion, the people who abandoned them were yet to be identified, they said.

The workers said the stillborn babies might have been concealed in garbage bags and were collected by the workers during their clearance duty, the sources said.
