A 20-year-old woman got help from the unlikeliest source for the birth of her twins at Palghar station on Tuesday morning. The woman, Chhaya Ankush Chavra, a resident of Deul Pada in Safale, was heading towards Palghar to get herself admitted to a hospital there for the birth. But the babies were in a hurry to be born and arrived at the station itself with the help of the Government Railway Police (GRP).

Palghar GRP Senior Inspector Uttam Sonavane said, "Around 9.23 am, a passenger informed us that a woman had delivered inside the train and that she was still in pain. Our women constables and other staff immediately brought her out on a stretcher and took her to the waiting room where she delivered another baby." GRP woman constables Deepali Khot, Laxmi Bandgar and Rupali Rahinj helped with the delivery, while constable Nitin Shinde helped bring her to the waiting room, Sonavane said.
