The mother, Sumaiya Akter Swety, wife of Modasser Ali Tarafdar from Shutia village in Chuadanga’s Jibannagar upazila, was admitted to Jashore Ad-din Sakina Medical Hospital on Thursday.

She gave birth to the quadruplets via caesarean section in the afternoon, three years after her marriage.

Dr. Manjuara Khatun, a physician at the hospital, said the newborns are in stable condition but require special care. - UNB
