Despite the grim times, the circle of life continues. In a special development, a lady who was travelling in the 05623 Shramik Special Train from Jirania in Tripura to Khagaria in Bihar, gave birth to a healthy baby on the way.

Railway authorities said that migrant worker Binod Chauhan and his pregnant wife Mintu Devi were headed to Khagaria in Bihar via a train meant for ferrying stranded labourers back, when his wife started having sudden fits of pain. The Katihar Health authorities were informed and the train was stopped at the Katihar station, where the woman gave birth to the child.
