Outage Ordeal: Women Deliver by Mobile Light at Health Center

An inquiry is underway to investigate the delivery of babies by mobile phone light after a power outage at a government health center in Beruarbari. The incident occurred despite available backup power sources. Authorities have formed a committee to examine the circumstances and promise action against those responsible.

An investigation has been initiated after four women reportedly delivered babies under mobile phone light at a government health center in Beruarbari, according to officials. A three-member committee, led by the deputy chief medical officer, is examining the incident.

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sanjeev Barman said that media reports highlighted the deliveries, which took place due to a burned-out transformer at the Beruarbari Primary Health Centre. This occurred although a generator and diesel were available.

The women were identified as Neetu Devi, Manju Devi, Pinky Devi, and Razia Khatoon. Dr. Barman assured that strict action would follow the investigation's findings.
