LEH: For nearly a month, 33 year old Jikmet Wangdus and his brother in law have been going to the Delhi International Airport daily to collect a box flown all the way from Leh. Except, the package is not an ordinary one. The box has seven small containers inside, each carrying the precious breast milk of Wangdus wife for their newborn who underwent a complex life saving surgery recently at a private hospital.

The boy was born through a C-section on June 16 at Sonam Nurboo Memorial Hospital in Leh and 30-year-old Dorjey Palmo found out that her baby was unable to suckle when she tried to feed him.

"I was in Mysore when my family in Leh contacted me and my Guruji's family members, who are doctors suggested sending the baby immediately to Delhi or Chandigarh at a bigger hospital. So, my wife's brother, Jigmat Gyalpo, took a flight from Leh and brought my child to Delhi on June 18 morning," Wangdus said.
Wangdus who works as a manager in an educational institution in Mysore, took a flight too and reached early morning on the same day.
