Red Cross Society employee Jasbir Kaur poses with an abandoned boy, found at the ‘pangpura’ (cradle) drop-off box at the entrance to the Red Cross House in Amritsar yesterday. The building has a drop-off location for unwanted babies, built in 2008, in an attempt to curb female infanticide. An average of 15 babies a year have been saved, according to the society.
