A Thane resident gave birth to a baby girl at Kalyan railway station recently. Vipul Rajbhar's wife had been coaxing him since the last few days to take her home to Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh. Rajbhar's wife Seema was in the late stages of pregnancy which is why he did not want to take a chance but the 20-year-old kept insisting that she wanted to see her mother.

"Seema kept insisting that she wanted to see her mother and the due date was a little farther away on December 1 so I bought the tickets and we reached station. When we had crossed Thane railway station, my wife started having delivery cramps," Rajbhar said.
He and his wife got down from the train at Kalyan railway station where their daughter was born on platform-4.
"There were a few sweepers, policewomen constables and some loaders as well. They all came and helped. The loaders helped take my wife to the nearby hospital. I gave them Rs 500 for providing all the help," recounts Rajbhar.
Railway Protection Force (RPF) lady constable Reena Ujjwal and MSF staff Sonam Dabare had rushed to help Seema after noticing her predicament. They assisted her with the delivery by providing a cover, considering the urgency of the situation.
