Speaking about the emergency delivery of the baby girl on the footover bridge of Jhansi Railway Station, Major Rohit Bachwala (Medical Officer, Military Hospital Jhansi) said, '...I told the lady that you don't need to worry. I'm a medical officer, and nothing will happen to you or the child. And at that point in time, I realised that she could not be evacuated from that point. So I had planned that I would deliver her right away at that same place in that incident. And I had looked for certain items... I had assisted in delivering the baby safely, and soon after that, with the help of the pocket knife and the hair clips, I had separated the umbilical cord. The baby was not responsive at first, but with my clinical skills, I tried to resuscitate her, and then she even responded, and I felt very happy about that... The mother was very, very happy. The baby started crying, and it was all god's grace that I felt that the mother and baby were stable and fine. I have a special thank you for the railway staff who helped me with what I wanted now, and also they maintained the privacy of the individual...'. (ANI)
