Girl child: Family welcomes newborn with enthusiasm
The Statesman Kolkata
|April 10, 2025
The birth of the first girl child in 50 years in a family led to scenes of joy and celebration, as relatives arrived at Memari Rural Hospital in East Burdwan with a car decorated like one used in a wedding procession to receive the newborn today.
Curious hospital staff and family members of other patients gathered around the elaborately adorned vehicle, eager to witness the unusual but heartwarming moment.
Sheikh Jahangir of Boinchi, in neighbouring Hooghly district, arrived with his sons and grandsons to collect his newborn granddaughter. His daughter-in-law, Mehnaz Sheikh, gave birth to the "precious" girl two days ago.
