A 24-year-old woman on Wednesday gave birth to a baby boy on a platform of Thane railway station.

Reacting to the situation, Railway Protection Force (RPF) officer Shobha Mothe and other women reached to help Meenakshi and provided her a dignified cover. Minutes later she gave birth to a baby boy.

Meenakshi and her baby were later shifted to a Civil hospital for treatment. Both are reportedly safe.
