Rabiul Islam, a local, noticed Mafida “in extreme pain” and immediately informed the local women of the area who assisted her in giving birth to a baby boy.

After coming to know about the child birth case in the NSK centre, the South Salmara unit of AASU appealed to the NSK officials to re-schedule the hearing date for Mafida’s family.

The AASU unit also said that pregnant women, elderly people and children should be exempted from NRC hearings.
