When the entire country was busy remembering the brave soldiers on Kargil Vijay Diwas, a 25-year-old woman gave birth to a baby girl onboard an NDRF rescue boat in Bihar's flood-hit East Champaran district on Sunday afternoon during an evacuation operation.

The girl was born at around 1.40 p.m. on the rescue boat of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), which was on a rescue mission on in a flood-hit village affected by river Burhi Gandak -- a tributary of Ganga also known as Sikrahana in its upper reaches.
