Around 2 am in the night labor pains started to the lady passenger when the train was passing through Khanapur in Belagavi District. The couple immediately called up Belagavi Railway station with the help of o­n duty TTE Shri Srinivas and requested for medical assistance. The Station Manager o­n duty Mr. Surendra Prakash promptly responded, called 108. By the time the train reached Belagavi, ambulance was kept ready. The railway staff also helped the couple in alighting the train and boarding the ambulance after train stopped at Belgaum. The lady passenger was later taken to KLE hospital, Belagavi for delivery.
