They made it and a boy, aptly named ‘Shanti’, was born on Sunday when curfew was in force in Hailakandi following communal clashes just two days ago. He needed an ambulance to take Nandita to hospital as she was writhing in labour pain. However, no help came for them in the curfew affected area and, in the meanwhile, Nandita’s pain increased. Rubon at once decided to name his son ‘Shanti’ who was born amid curfew following a communal strife. The good news spread, with the Administrator of the hospital Bhaskar Das describing the incident as a classic instance of Hindu-Muslim brotherhood.
