Non-identical twins – male and female – were rescued
near a roadside bush close to a petrol station in Perandapalli on the
Hosur-Krishnagiri National Highways on Sunday.
The
newborns were noticed by members of the public, who informed the 108
ambulance service of Emergency Management and Research Institute (EMRI).
Admitted
The
two newborns were admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of the Government
Hospital, Hosur. Their health condition has been reported to be normal.
Dr. M.K. Ponnuraj, Chief Medical Officer of the hospital told
The Hindu
that the girl weighed about 1.75 kg and the boy weighed about 2.23 kg.
Intensive care
Since
the newborns were found near a roadside bush, it was advisable to keep
them at the Intensive Care Unit for four or five days to ensure that
they have not suffered any ill effects, it was pointed out.
The twins are likely to be shifted later to the Government Cradle Baby Home at Dharmapuri.
Parents
Police have been asked to identify the parents of the newborns, Dr. Ponnuraj said.
SIPCOT Police have registered a case and are investigating.
