SWIFT ACTION BY ON DUTY TTE ENSURES SAFE CHILDBIRTH ON MOVING TRAIN A pregnant woman traveling with her husband in Coach S/8 of Train No. 16620 Dhanbad–Podanur Amrit Bharat Express, en route from Rourkela to Jolarpettai, went into severe labor shortly after the train crossed Rayagada. The on-duty Train Ticket Examiner, Shri S. Srikant, was immediately alerted and responded without delay. Showing remarkable presence of mind, he informed Waltair Commercial Control to arrange medical assistance at the nearest suitable station. Acting swiftly, railway authorities coordinated with medical, commercial, and security teams, who were prepared to assist when the train reached Parvatipuram. Before the train arrived, the woman successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy onboard. Both mother and child were reported to be safe. Upon arrival at Parvatipuram, they were shifted to a government hospital for further care. Divisional Railway Manager Shri Lalit Bohra praised the quick response, teamwork, and compassionate approach of the railway staff, highlighting their commitment to passenger safety during emergencies.
