Orissa Chief Secretary Ajit Kumar Tripathy, Health and Family Welfare Secretary Chinmmay Basu and senior police officers on Monday rushed to Nayagarh from where the police had recovered body parts of new-born babies and foetuses on Sunday.
Official sources said that Tripathy and others visited the foothills of Duburi, two km from Nayagarh town, before heading towards a pit at Nabaghanpur from where body parts of babies were recovered. On July 14, the local people had found bodies of seven new-born baby girls at the hillside. Tripathy reviewed the situation and called an emergency meeting of the district collector, superintendent of police, chief district medical officer and others. The police sent the body parts of the babies for forensic test and the report is expected by Tuesday.
