Guwahati, Jan 20: A routine train journey turned into an extraordinary humanitarian moment at Guwahati Railway Station, where a pregnant woman from Bihar gave birth on Platform No. 4, with the help of railway doctors, officials, and the Railway Protection Force (RPF).
The incident took place at around 6.30 am on Monday. The mother with her baby girl is now safe and in good health.
The woman was travelling from Agartala to Barauni on the Rani Kamlapati Express when she suddenly went into intense labour pain. Upon receiving the distress call, Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) officials acted swiftly, advising her family to deboard at Guwahati for immediate medical assistance.

“It was a heartwarming moment amidst the daily hustle of the station. The teamwork of railway staff, doctors, and RPF personnel made this possible,” said an NFR official.
Following the delivery, the mother and newborn were rushed to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) by ambulance, accompanied by her husband, for further medical care.
This incident highlights the power of swift humanitarian response and teamwork, proving that even in the busiest of places, humanity finds a way to shine through.
