Staff of ‘108’ ambulance assist in delivery at Nizamabad station
A 20-year-old woman from Secunderabad delivered a baby boy inside a train with the help of ‘108’ ambulance staff on Sunday evening. The train was heading from Secunderabad to Mumbai, and had to be stopped at the Nizamabad station when the woman developed labour pains.
“We received a call at around 4 p.m. and reached the railway station in seven minutes. But the delivery was already under process. We helped in delivering the baby. Soon after that, the train started to move. I pulled the chain, shifted the mother and the newborn to the Government General Hospital in the district,” said M. Anand, medical technician of the 108 ambulance.
Condition of the mother and the baby was stable when they were admitted at the hospital.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
