Pali (Rajasthan): A woman who gave birth to a girl in mid-air in a flight from Bengaluru to Jaipur on March 17 with the help of a cabin crew and a doctor, has been roaming one hospital to another to get a birth certificate of the toddler.
According to the Indigo airline, the pregnant woman went into labour pain mid-air on the IndiGo flight 6E-469.
