While Mumbai paralysed by incessant rain and many parts of the financial capital waterlogged , a woman gave birth to a boy on the Dombivli station when she was stuck in a huge crowd.
She was heading to Mumbai CST from Khadavli where she had to be admitted to Cama Hospital for delivery. However, while she was waiting for the train at platform number three, she experienced excruciating labour pain.
Immediately she informed the women close by and with the help of CRPF women, she was given instant help. Doctors and nurses at the One Rupee Clinic in the station swung into action and attended to the pregnant woman. She gave birth to a boy at the platform itself.
Post delivery, both mother and son were sent to a local government hospital for more treatment along with her husband and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel. Both the mother and the child are in good health.The woman has been identified as Jasmin Shabbir Sheikh. The family thanked the railway authorities, doctors and other staff for rendering timely assistance.
