A routine bus ride in Telangana turned into an extraordinary event when a pregnant woman unexpectedly went into labor. The woman, traveling on a Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TGSRTC) bus from Gadwal to Wanaparthy, suddenly developed labor pains, prompting quick action from those onboard.
The bus was immediately halted, and a female conductor, G Bharati, stepped in to assist with the delivery. As luck would have it, a nurse was also traveling on the bus, and together, they ensured the safe birth of a baby girl.
