Get rid of new-born on city streets, no one will stop you: Tirupathi streets are the best place to get rid of newly born babies. Here, the locals will not bother to ask you what you are dumping on the road. Worse is the role of the police and district administration where the officials will make tall claims initially and stop picking the phone later.

In the dreadful incident of an abandoned baby being eaten by stray canine, the officials of police and health department made tall claims of immediate action and probe into the matter, while nothing was done yet.

Police claimed that an immediate probe would be conducted into matter and RUIA Hospital authorities would be interrogated, seems to have forgotten the matter. The police had not taken any account of the incident till filing of this report. The police chief, who claimed to remain available on phone 24X7 for locals, did not pick up the phone even after repeated attempts. Chief Medical Officer (CMO), who also was supposed to question the hospital authorities, went to attend meeting in Hyderabad.

Talking to INN Live, additional CMO said that "though the matter is not associated with the health department, we could help the police if they want".
