Assam: Baby girl born aboard night bus near Kaziranga

A pregnant woman traveling on a night super bus from Guwahati to Dibrugarh delivered a healthy baby girl near Kaziranga in Assam, India. The incident occurred on the Aideu Jaan bus while the vehicle was in transit.

Bus driver Babul Barpatra stopped the vehicle by the roadside after passengers reported the emergency. To ensure privacy, male passengers were asked to exit the bus, and blankets and clothing were used to create a makeshift delivery area. The bus staff and passengers assisted during the process until medical professionals arrived.

The woman was traveling with seven family members. Following the delivery, an ambulance transported both the mother and the newborn to a nearby hospital, where they were reported to be in stable condition. The bus owner provided 5,000 rupees in financial assistance to the woman following the event.
