A two-year-old baby girl has been unclaimed at the Chidlren’s Ward of Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital in Bogra as her mother died in a road accident on Saturday.
The child, who had her leg broken, has been admitted in the hospital since she and mother was in an accident in Gobindaganj upazila in Gaibandha, says Gobindaganj Highway Police Station’s Officer-in-Charge Masud Parved.
He says her mother was carrying the child when she was walking along Dhaka-Rangpur Highway, when a truck ran over them at Hawakhana area adjoining Katakhali Bridge of Kamardah Union Parishad.
The mother died on the spot while the child had a leg broken in the accident.
OC Masud says two days after the woman (30)’s body goes unclaimed, it was handed over to Anjuman Mufidul Islam, an welfare organisation that also buries unclaimed bodies.
The child, has been crying relentlessly, but there was nobody but nurses to tend to her sometimes. She was calling out for her mother, little understanding that her mother had died, he says.
OC Masud adds that they tried high and low to find out the woman’s relatives, but their efforts had gone in vain.
