Woman gives birth near Phagwara railway platform

A mentally retarded woman gave birth to a baby girl near a garbage dump close to platform number 2 of Phagwara railway station.

The delivery reportedly took place before any medical assistance could reach her. The railway police and local residents noticed the woman in a critical condition and alerted the authorities. An ambulance was dispatched promptly and both mother and newborn child were shifted to the Civil Hospital, where they are receiving medical treatment and remain under observation.

GRP in-charge Sukhwinder Singh said the woman appears to be from another state and seems mentally unstable. The hospital staff confirmed that the newborn is being taken care by the medical team, while the mother’s condition remains fragile.
