Coronavirus: Lady cop in Ranchi rushes home to bring milk for an infant on a Shramik train
ASI Sushila Badaik learned that a four-month-old baby on a Shramik train needed milk. She immediately rushed home to bring back a bottle of milk for the baby.
The coronavirus pandemic has not spared the already suffering migrant workers and daily wagers. First by walking, then by buses arranged by Samaritans of the society, and now by government-provided ‘Shramik trains,’ a large number of these workers travelled back home.
On one such train, moving on the Bengaluru-Gorakhpur route was Mehrunnisa, a mother of a four-month-old infant, who requested the posted authorities at the Hatia Railway Station in Ranchi, Jharkhand, for some milk.

Understanding the plight of the mother, ASI Sushila Badaik, who was working that morning, immediately offered to bring milk for the child. Considering how early it was, Sushila rushed to her home near the station on her two-wheeler and returned with a bottle of milk for the baby.
"The baby was crying, and I rushed to fetch milk," Badaik was heard saying, according to a video clipping by Zee News, and tweeted by the Ministry of Railways.
The Divisional Railway Manager, Ranchi, also tweeted, saying,
“On June 14, 2020, Train No. 06563 Shramik Special Train from Bengaluru to Gorakhpur arrived at Hatia Railway Station at 06:00 am. A female passenger (named - Mehrunnisa) travelling by this train, ASI, Smt., female employee of the Railway Protection Force working at the station”
“The mother told Badaik about her four-month-old son to be hungry and requested to get milk for the child. On hearing this, Mrs. Sushila Baraike, immediately showing Mamta, dutifulness, and punctuality, immediately went to her house to fetch milk for that child and gave it to the lady traveller,” he had further commented.
