A 29-year-old woman delivered a baby boy on a platform at Dombivli railway station amid peak-hour chaos caused by train delays on Wednesday. Women commuters cordoned off a corner on platform number three and covered Jasmine Shabbir Shaikh with their stoles and dupattas as she delivered the baby around 7.30am. When the train pulled into Dombivli station, other commuters helped Shaikh alight. They helped with the delivery,” said S Pawar, senior police inspector of Dombivli Government Railway Police (GRP). Both the mother and baby were healthy and we shifted them to the civic-run Shastrinagar Hospital in Dombivli.” The baby weighs around 2.15kg, said the doctor.
