"It is difficult to express how happy we feel today. I have been waiting for this moment all my life. After so many unsuccessful attempts, I still believed that we both would clear the examination," he said.

The duo had been preparing for the examination for the last 11 years. They met in 2008 through a study group and tied the knot in 2014.

"We used to study together. Even when we used to sit together to chat, it would turn into a study session," he added.

Echoing similar sentiments, Vibha said she was sure the couple would clear the examination.

"I knew we both would get selected, but did not fathom that we would top the exam," she said.

Vibha had been working as the Assistant Development Officer (ADO) in the Department Of Panchayat and Rural Development for the past seven years and juggled studies and work simultaneously all these years.

Thane, July 27 (IANS) A nine-month pregnant woman went into labour in the stranded Mahalaxmi Express train which has been stuck in flood waters at Vangani for around 18 hours, here on Saturday.



Her panicky relatives sent out urgent appeals from the D1 bogey seeking help to rush her to a hospital.



The woman, identified as Reshma Kamble, was proceeding from Mumbai to Kolhapur for the delivery of her child but the train was stranded in Thane flood waters since Friday evening.



Some unconfirmed reports said that there are at least another nine women on board in different stages of pregnancy who are in distress and awaiting help.



The Indian Army, Indian Air Forces, Indian Navy and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have launched one of the biggest operations to rescue an estimated 1,500 passengers stranded on the train with around 3-5 feet water on all sides.
