A 27-year-old woman from Delhi, Neha, gave birth to twin boys at the Women's District Hospital in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, while returning from the Kanwar Yatra. She was seven months pregnant and developed labour pains while carrying holy Ganga water from Haridwar. Senior Superintendent of Police Sanjay Kumar Verma named the newborns Ganesh and Kartik with the mother's consent. The twins weighed 1.02 kg and 900 grams at birth and were admitted to the Special Newborn Care Unit (SNCU) with breathing difficulties.
