Amritsar, October 21: The Amritsar Police has launched a search operation to find the parents or kin of a 10-year-old baby, found at the tracks near Jaura Phatak -- the site where 61 Dussehra revelers were mowed down to death by a Jalandhar-bound DMU train on Friday.

The toddler is currently being treated at the Guru Nanak Hospital. Although his condition is reported to be stable, the child had sustained injuries on his forehead. The police have appealed people to call on 0183 2220205 if they have information related to baby's parents or relatives.

As many as 20 missing persons' complaint have been registered at the Dhobi Ghat police station in Amritsar, under whose jurisdiction the site of tragedy falls. The plaintiffs claim that neither their missing kin are being treated at the civil hospital or Guru Nanak hospital, nor have their bodies been located in the morgues. Amritsar Dussehra Event Host Told Navjot Kaur Sidhu '5,000 Standing on Tracks For You', Failed to Alert Railways.
