Reportedly, a similar incident took place in Vijayanagaram district, when another pregnant woman was carried for 12 km due to lack of road connectivity. In hilly, remote areas, it is very common for patients to be carried in make-shift stretchers.

Watch the video where the pregnant woman is being carried by her relatives to the hospital:

Remember Dana Majhi, the poor Odisha tribal who shook people's conscience as he walked 10 kilometres with his dead wife's body on his shoulders because the district hospital where the ailing was admitted had no hospital.

Things haven't changed much after that, from a hearse not being provided for dead patients to the absence of road connectivity, thousands of people continue to suffer every day.
