The 32-year-old delivered a baby in the Gir forest in an ambulance after midnight. As she gave birth to a boy, a group of 12 lions emerged from the adjacent forests and surrounded the vehicle near a remote village in Amreli district.
The incident occurred at around 2:30 am on Thursday when the ambulance was shifting Makwana, a resident of Lunasapur village, to the government hospital in Jafarabad town, said Chetan Gaadhe, Emergency Management Executive of ‘108’ in Amreli.
The mother asked the driver Raju Jadav to stop the ambulance mid-way to deal with the emergency.
While the EMT contacted a physician over the phone to take directions, the pride of lions, sensing the human presence, emerged from the nearby bushes and surrounded the ambulance. Some of them even sat in front of the vehicle, blocking its passage
Driver Jadav monitored the movement as “curious” Lions
The mother and the child are currently admitted to Jafrabad hospital. Their condition is stable.
