CI aids pregnant woman deliver baby on Vijayawada roadside
A pregnant woman delivered her baby on the roadside in Vijayawada on Sunday (August 23, 2026), according to the Circle Inspector of Satyanarayanapuram police station, S.V.V. Lakshminarayana. The police officer noticed the mother-to-be suffering from labor pains while she was in an auto rickshaw. The women traveling on the road nearby gathered around the pregnant woman and helped her deliver the baby on the roadside near Ajitsingh Nagar flyover, in the NTR Police Commissionerate.
Mr. Lakshminarayana recounted that upon seeing the distressed woman in the auto, the driver panicked and fled. He stopped his vehicle, helped the woman get down, and called for assistance from the locals. Within a short time, the woman delivered a baby boy. Both the mother and the newborn were safe. The CI then arranged for an ambulance to transport the mother, baby, and the grandmother, who was attending to the patient, to the Government General Hospital (GGH).
