Army doctor performs emergency delivery at railway platform with hair clip, pocket knife
Jhansi , A hair clip and a pocket knife became tools during the emergency delivery of a baby girl — right on the platform. Army doctor performs emergency delivery at railway platform with hair clip, pocket knife The procedure, carried out by a young army doctor using minimal resources, ensured the safe birth of the child, leaving bystanders awestruck and the new parents overwhelmed. According to North Central Railway's Jhansi Division Public Relations Officer Manoj Kumar Singh, a pregnant woman travelling on the Panvel-Gorakhpur Express experienced severe labour pain and was deboarded at Jhansi station on Saturday afternoon. Seeing the critical situation, a female ticket-checking staff member and an army officer stationed nearby sprang into action and came to the assistance of the woman. Major Dr Rohit Bachwala , a medical officer with the Army Medical Corps, was waiting for his train when he witnessed a railway employee rushing a woman in distress on a wheelchair. Reacting instinctively, he stepped in and, with the help of railway staff, decided to help the woman in delivering the baby on the platform itself. "With no access to a proper operation theatre, I had to rely on tools I had on me,' Major Bachwala told PTI. "To clamp the umbilical cord, I used a hair clip. A pocket knife helped me cut it after ensuring the baby was stable. The mother and child were in a precarious condition, and every second mattered." He further shared that the woman had collapsed due to intense labour pain near the lift area when he intervened. "There was no time to waste. We created a makeshift delivery area and ensured basic hygiene with the help of available supplies. It was divine intervention that I was present at that moment," he added. Post-delivery, both mother and baby were shifted to a local hospital by ambulance, with railway staff facilitating the arrangements. Doctors later confirmed both were in stable condition. Incredibly, after successfully handling the emergency, Major Bachwala boarded his train to Hyderabad on time. "As doctors, we must be prepared for emergencies at all times, even in transit. I consider it a blessing that I could help save two lives,' he said. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Two exp trains to halt regularly at Orchha rly station
Prayagraj: In a significant move to enhance regional connectivity and promote tourism, the North Central Railway under the Jhansi Division announced the introduction of regular halts for two express trains at Orchha Railway Station. Starting May 30, the Khajuraho–Udaipur Intercity Express and Gwalior–Varanasi Bundelkhand Express will stop at Orchha, much to the benefit of local passengers and tourists alike. The inauguration ceremony for this facility is scheduled to take place on May 30 at Orchha station. The event will be graced by cabinet minister for Social Justice and Empowerment, Virendra Kumar who is expected to flag off the new halts. With this development, passengers from Orchha will now have direct and convenient rail access to major destinations, including Gwalior, Khajuraho, Varanasi, and Udaipur. This improved connectivity is expected to significantly boost tourism to Orchha, a town known for its rich historical and cultural heritage. Easier access for tourists will enhance the town's visibility as a prime travel destination. Moreover, the increased passenger flow is likely to stimulate local businesses, especially those related to hospitality, handicrafts, and other service sectors. Due to the inclusion of Orchha in the route, the timings of train number 11107 at several other stations have been revised, including Niwari, Teharka, Mauranipur, Harpalpur, Belatal, Kul Pahad, and Mahoba.

Woman Enters AC Coach Toilet, Screams On Seeing Smoke. Here's What Really Happened
Last Updated: After the woman screamed, nearby passengers panicked upon seeing smoke from the toilet. The TTE opened the door and stepped in. What he found was shocking A startling incident occurred in the Jhansi division of North Central Railway when a woman travelling in the AC coach of a train discovered smoke emanating from a toilet. Upon entering the toilet, she screamed, attracting the attention of nearby passengers. They were similarly alarmed when they saw smoke coming from the toilet. The Train Ticket Examiner (TTE) soon arrived and opened the door, revealing a passenger smoking a cigarette inside, which is prohibited on trains. Consequently, the TTE imposed a fine on the offending passenger. This incident underscores ongoing efforts by the Jhansi Division to ensure cleanliness and compliance on trains and station premises. In 2024-25, campaigns aimed at providing good food, clean drinking water, and hygienic toilet facilities led to the collection of Rs 10,25,893 in fines. Of these, Rs 7,15,863 were collected from 3,530 passengers for littering, and Rs 3,10,030 from passengers for smoking. According to Indian Railways regulations, spreading dirt or smoking in train or station premises is a punishable offence, potentially resulting in fines, imprisonment, or both. The railway authorities urge passengers to maintain cleanliness and refrain from smoking to ensure a pleasant and respectful travel experience for all. First Published:
