"After surviving extreme conditions of breathlessness while being inside a bag for almost 10 hours, the infant—now lovingly named Veer by the hospital staff—is showing signs of recovery," Moradabad district probation officer SP Gautam said. "Veer is not only the apple of every eye in the hospital where he is recuperating after fighting a brave battle for life, but he has also drawn a long queue of over 40 families eager to adopt him," Gautam said.
