Patna, Sept 10 (The Bihar Post/IBNS): A tribal woman from Jharkhand delivered a baby on a busy national highwa on Friday after she failed to get an ambulance to reach a nearby health centre.

The incident took place in Latehar district. 

Reports said Sonamani, a resident of Hesala village, had left for a local block office on Thursday noon on foot to register her three little children to get Aadhar cards.

By the time she reached the district headquarters, the darkness had fallen and the office was closed.

The the poor woman, who was in advanced stage of pregnancy took shelter in an abandoned room along the road to pass the night.

In the meantime, her labour pain started and she turned restless. She came out on the road to get lift from the vehicles passing through the national highway, but none helped her.

As the pain turned unbearable, she lay under a tree beside the road as her three little children sat close to her, looking helpless.

Eventually, she delivered her baby boy on the road.

Soon after being informed, the local police admitted the woman to a  hospital, which provided her all the necessary medical help.

Both the mother and the newborn are safe.
