A pregnant woman who visited the Battaramulla Office of the Department of Immigration and Emigration to obtain a passport has given birth to a child upon being hospitalised after two days of waiting in the queue.
This 26-year-old mother, a resident of Hatton, went into labour while waiting in the passport queue and the Police and military officers who were on duty admitted her to the Soyza Women’s Hospital in Colombo.
Both the mother and the baby are in good health, reports said.
She visited the Dept Office with her husband to obtain a passport to travel abroad.
