Most folks who have travelled in the Delhi metro must have come across an image of a girl in a blue school uniform.
That’s the Delhi Metro Mascot and her name is Maitree. A girl who was born in the Delhi metro in 2012.

A 🧵 on this less known story..
Juli Devi was on her way from Faridabad to Safdurjang Hospital by Delhi metro when she went into labour.
With the help of two women, she delivered a girl child (the first one to be born in a metro) in the last coach of the train at Khan Market station.

The new born and the mother were then taken to Central Secratariat station where the metro staff had arranged for an ambulance to take them to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
Initially, there were some concerns in admitting the baby but the metro authorities took care of the formalities at the hospital and helped in getting them admitted.
Maitree - which means friendship - was the name chosen by her parents as it is phonetically similar to the word “metro”.
Nowadays, Maitree can be seen spreading awareness on @OfficialDMRC tweets wearing a mask and gloves.

This blew up more than I expected. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to.
