Shahjahanpur: A woman delivered a baby on the road when she was being taken to a community health centre on a bicycle here, police said on Saturday.
"On the evening of April 9, the woman, a resident of Raghunathpur village, was being taken on a bicycle by her husband to Madnapur community health centre, which was 10 kilometres away.
