Thane: A 29-year-old woman travelling to Mumbai in a train gave birth to a baby boy in a clinic at Maharashtra's Thane railway station on Thursday morning, an official said. The woman, Subhanti Patra, started getting labour pains while she was heading from Karjat (in adjoining Raigad district) to Parel in neighbouring Mumbai, located around 35km from Mumbai, in a suburban train.

The railway officials immediately informed the doctor in-charge at the 'One-Rupee Clinic', located on platform no. 2 of the Thane station. The woman was then rushed to the clinic where she delivered the child around 6.30 am, said Dr Rahul Ghule, CEO of the clinic, which is run by a private body.
