Baby on wheels: The passenger and her newborn at the District Headquarters Hospital on Wednesday. G. N. Rao
Call it providence followed by prompt action. A pregnant woman passenger from Bihar delivered a baby girl in the toilet of the Chennai-bound Ganga Kaveri Superfast Express on the Dornakal-Khammam section early on Wednesday.
The woman, identified as Pinky Devi, aged around 25, of Chhapra in Bihar, developed labour pains soon after she went into a toilet in the S1 coach to attend nature’s call around 5.40 a.m. She delivered a baby girl in the toilet even as the train passed the Dornakal junction at the time.
First responders
The cleaning staff on board the train noticed the woman and her baby inside the toilet and soon alerted the Railway security control room personnel over phone.
In a swift response, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel deployed a woman constable Sashikala, along with Childline (1098) volunteers, who attended to the woman and her newborn infant after the train reached Khammam a little later.
The train was detained at the station for six minutes to facilitate shifting the mother and child into a 108 ambulance. The ambulance staff rendered first aid to the duo before shifting them to the District Headquarters Hospital.
Ms. Devi expressed her wish to name her baby after the train.
