A 40-year-old woman allegedly strangled her newborn son to death, just hours after giving birth at a government hospital in Rajasthan’s Churu district.

The Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) on Saturday called for urgent and coordinated action by Punjab to curb stubble burning incidents, even as it said that Haryana has shown a significant decline in such cases

The crime was uncovered after an investigation by Sarjapur Police, who arrested a woman named Deepa for the alleged murder of 68-year-old Bhadramma.
