Villagers Carry Pregnant Woman 15 Km In A Round Bucket For Delivery

Pune, 28 July 2021: Villagers of Kudali Khurd had to carry a pregnant woman in a bucket after she went into labour. Due to incessant rain and the landslide near the Neera Devdhar dam area, the roads have been closed for transport.

Similarly, the nearest health centre for the remote villages in this area is more than 15 kms away. The villagers carried her in a bucket and walked down 15 kms to reach the road. From there she was transferred into an ambulance. She later delivered a baby immediately after reaching the hospital.

“Both the baby and the mother are doing fine”, said the doctors treating her.
