“I don’t have enough money to take care of the twin but would do my best till the time they can manage to survive,” said Pradeep, father of twins.

Last year in November, a team of doctors at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh successfully separated two conjoined sisters — Jannat and Mannat —performing one of the rarest surgeries.
