A woman was allegedly forced to deliver her child on the floor of the civil hospital in Punjab's Pathankot after she was denied admission to the labour room.

A migrant labourer's pregnant wife, who walked over 100 km from Ludhiana in Punjab, delivered a girl child after reaching Ambala in Haryana but the baby died shortly after birth.

Four children, being taken to Punjab to work as labourers, were rescued from a train in the Uttar Pradesh capital, police said on Wednesday. A man has been arrested on charges of child trafficking.
