I finally came up with a solution. Since I am using MinGW I Used MinGW installation manager and install packages that need to execute pthreads and openmp related tasks in CLion. Here is the procedure.
After opening the installation manager go to all packages and select the select packages named using mingw32-pthreads-w32 and select them for installation.
Then go to the installtion -> Apply changes to install new packages. The you can use pthread.h and omp.h inside your c or c++ program without any problem.

Add -lpthread flag to the compilation, i.e:
gcc foo.c -lpthread

Actually pthread file cannot be included since it is giving an file cannot found error. – Demotte Apr 27 '20 at 10:56

Try to run this in a terminal: find / -name 'libpthread.so' -print – MrBens Apr 27 '20 at 11:03
