    The surgical procedure to separate the 2 important pipelines was carried out on June 19. As the baby recuperated, the household made preparations by way of acquaintances travelling from Leh to Delhi to ship six 60ml bottles of milk to Wangdu for the toddler. Recognising the necessity to have the milk delivered on daily basis, the airways stepped in just a few days later to transport the baby’s meals for free.
    Explaining the necessity for the expressed milk, the daddy stated, “The powder milk we fed the baby proved insufficient for the child.
