"The lady started having contractions mid-flight, about five hours while going from Dubai to the Philippines. She was set to give birth in October, so this came as a surprise, even to her mother," wrote Missy Berberabe Umandal, an eye-witness in herFacebook post who was aboard that same flight.

Her post has been shared more than 3,500 times in just two days. "I am sharing this story purely because I find it very inspiring, but I never intended it to go viral," she added.

"We only heard one semi-loud screech, and a few seconds later, there were tinier, cute screeches, and it was when we knew the baby was born," Umandal wrote.

The flight was diverted in India to ensure the baby's safety, making it 18 hours of travel instead of 9, Umandal says there were no complaints.

Makes one wonder, "I wish I was born in that flight too!"

It's not a new story . It's gross negligence by airline who always fails to check and it's common in that sector specially from use to manila . Dye to negligence of airline many missed the connecting flights and many got spoil mood of holidays. I would suggest all who missed the flight must sue Cebu Pacific.

Shivamogga, Jul 24: The protest by Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA) under the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) entered its 14th day on Friday demanding personal protective equipment (PPE) kits and a salary of at least Rs 12,000 per month.

They have been protesting in different parts of Karnataka since July 10.

Staging a protest in front of the deputy commissioner's office, the ASHA workers complained of the government turning a deaf ear to their problems.

Clad in their signature pink saris, they raised slogans to demand appropriate salary for their work and the necessary equipment to protect them from the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak. 

They said that they worked tirelessly during the COVID-19-induced lockdown without any safety. The department only provided them with sub-standard equipment to combat the deadly virus. All they were asking for is a basic pay of Rs 12,000 against the current pay of Rs 6,000.

Prema, an ASHA said, "The authorities are praising our work, clapping for us and showering flowers on us but are not listening to our grievances."
