A woman has given birth to quadruplets at Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) on Monday morning. The delivery took place around 10:30 am through a cesarean section, resulting in the birth of two boys and two girls.

Hospital sources confirmed that both the mother and babies are in stable condition. However, the newborns were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) due to low birth weight. The babies weighed 1.4 kg, 1.3 kg, and two at 1.2 kg each, compared to the average healthy newborn weight of 2.8 to 2.9 kg.

The surgery was led by Dr. Taslima Begum, Associate Professor and Head of the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Unit at CMCH. She explained that the case was a rare quadruplet pregnancy, with the mother successfully carrying all four babies despite medical complications.

This birth comes after two similar rare incidents earlier this year in Chattogram. On April 27, a mother gave birth to five babies, while on May 10, another woman delivered six babies at a private hospital in the city.

A female lawyer was killed and two others injured in a collision between a bus and an autorickshaw at Sadar Upazila Mor in Kushtia on Tuesday morning.

The deceased was identified as lawyer Debora Khanam Sarika. Witnesses said the accident occurred around 9am when an autorickshaw suddenly entered the highway and was hit by a Shyamoli NR Paribahan bus coming from Chattogram.

Locals rushed the injured to Kushtia General Hospital, where doctors declared Sarika dead. Kushtia Model Police Station OC Mosharraf Hossain confirmed that three people were injured in the crash and the victim’s body has been sent to the hospital morgue for autopsy.

At least 10 to 15 people were injured after being bitten by a mad horse in Boalmari municipality of Faridpur. The incident took place around 7 am on Sunday (7 September) at College Road and Chourasta areas.

According to locals, the same horse had already injured about 20 people over the past two days in different parts of the municipality by biting and kicking them. Several of the seriously injured were admitted to Boalmari Upazila Health Complex, while others received primary treatment.

Among the injured are journalist Kazi Hasan Firoz (60), Ataur Rahman (55), Md. Siddique (45), Shahidul (25), Monira Begum (36) and Aleya Begum (34).

Eyewitnesses said the horse was randomly attacking people it encountered. Some locals suspect the horse might have been bitten by a rabid dog, which caused its aggressive behavior.

Dr. Morshed Alam of Boalmari Health Complex confirmed that several patients were treated with painkillers and tetanus shots.

The incident has spread panic across the municipality.
