Feminicid: The navigator finds a baby girl in the Ganges River. He's a hero.

Gullu Chaudhary said he was alarmed by the cries of the 21-day baby, which he later found wrapped in a red scarf decorated with a single match with images of Hindu deities.

The baby has been taken to the hospital and her health is being monitored. Later he will be taken to a shelter.

Order authorities are investigating how the baby ended up in the river, writes the BBC, translates Periscopi.

They have not speculated about the possible motives of abandoning, but the gender figures of babies in India are disturbing. Women are usually discriminated against because they are considered financial burdens, especially among poor communities.

Although most female fetuses are aborted with the help of illegal gender - defining clinics, cases of girls killed or abandoned are by no means unusual.

The police said that the box had a birth horoscope card pointing to the day and time of the baby's birth, showing her name - Ganga. That's Hindu for the Ganges River.

The state government said it would carry the cost of raising the baby.

Also announced by the government that the navigator would be given a reward from the government, including a house, that has shown “an unmatched example of humanity”.

Even Kosovo has suffered and continues to suffer from discrimination that becomes a girl's babies. /Periscope
