A 30-year-old woman delivered a baby on a road in Mumbai’s Kurla area on Thursday prompting the police to rush the mother and her newborn to a civic hospital, an official said.

An official from VB Nagar police station said they were informed in the afternoon about a woman giving birth to a baby near Kamani Junction.

The woman, identified as Suvarna Mirgal, became unconscious after the delivery. 

The Nirbhaya Squad of the police station rushed to the spot and shifted her and the infant to the nearby civic hospital, he said, adding that both are doing fine.

Later, senior inspector Rajeen Chavan and other officials visited the woman and her baby at the hospital, he said.

Hollywood actress Gal Gadot facilitated a Los Angeles screening of a film showing the October 7 surprise attack on Southern Israel by the Hamas group. However, the screening was marred as multiple fights broke out in conjunction.  

The 43-minute film “Bearing Witness” featured “extremely graphic and violent” footage documenting the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7th, 2023, ABC News reported. The media outlet said that some of it included footage shot by members of Hamas. 

Videos going viral on the internet shows two groups clashing outside the city’s Museum of Tolerance on Pico Boulevard.

Gal Gadot is said to be involved in organising the screening. However, the actress did not attend the screening in person, the media outlet reported.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, some 200 people were in attendance at the screening, where there was a heavy security presence. An official with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, and Hollywood executives were among those reported to have attended the event.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said we must stand together. “We cannot allow current worldwide tension to devolve into this unacceptable violence in our city,” she wrote on X. “This is a time of immense pain and distress for thousands of Angelenos. We must stand together.”

Although Ms Gadot, who served in the Israeli Defence Forces before pursuing acting, has not issued a statement about the same, several people have slammed her for not talking about the Palestinian death toll and the atrocities faced by the people living in Gaza. 

As per Israeli authorities, more than 1,400 people have been killed and 240 have been held hostage in Gaza since the war began a month ago. The Gaza death number has soared above 10,000, mostly civilians, said the Hamas-run health ministry, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the war-torn coastal strip was becoming a “graveyard for children”. Israel has vowed to destroy the Islamist operatives over their unprecedented attack which witnessed entire families killed inside their homes and young people killed at a music festival, according to Israeli officials.

On regular days, the last service in all Delhi Metro corridors will leave at 11 pm. The revised timing for Diwali day on Sunday is applicable for all metro lines in the national capital. From Monday onwards, the services will be functioning as usual. 

The Delhi Metro has 12 lines and 288 stations including the Noida-Greater Noida Aqua line and Rapid Metro in Gurugram. 

Meanwhile, in the wake of rising air pollution in the national capital, the DMRC has begun 20 extra train trips for the convenience of daily commuters. The move is aimed at encouraging people to ditch their personal transport and opt for public transport in Delhi and its adjoining areas of Noida, Ghaziabad and others. 

Notably, Delhi Metro is already running 40 additional train trips on weekdays (Monday-Friday) from October 25 onwards when GRAP-II stage had come into force. GRAP categorises actions into four stages: Stage I – ‘Poor’ (AQI 201-300); Stage II – ‘Very Poor’ (AQI 301-400); Stage III – ‘Severe’ (AQI 401-450); and Stage IV – ‘Severe Plus’ (AQI >450).
