Md Nahid Mia and his wife Surma Akhter live in Dhaka s Lalbagh. They were going to Surma s village home in Barguna s Amtali to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr yesterday.
As long-distance public transport is suspended, they decided to cross the Padma on a trawler and landed on the banks of the river in Jajira, reports a correspondent from Shariatpur.
After walking for five kilometres on the Padma char, Surma who was pregnant started having labour pain. She was taken to a house in Majhikandi village on the char, where she gave birth to a baby girl around 5:00pm yesterday.
