The day of the Janata Curfew began with trouble for a young 23-year-old pregnant woman from Badlapur, as she started to experience labour pains. The trauma continued as she claimed the gynaecologist who was treating her refused to provide assistance citing the curfew, and referred her to Kalwa Civic Hospital. While her family managed to get her to that hospital quickly thanks to the empty roads, she walked out as it was filthy, and finally delivered a healthy boy at a small private hospital opposite it.

According to the doctor who performed the surgery, a minor delay could have been life-threatening for both child and mother.
