Rayagada: In a really distressing situation, a pregnant woman delivered her baby while being stretched on a cot as poor road connectivity didn’t allow ambulance to reach the village.
The incident has been reported from the cut-off Mahapanga village in Chandrapur block of Rayagada district.
The wife of Mahendra Jagranga, Salmi suffered labour pain following which her family dialed the emergency 108 ambulance service. With ambulance unable to reach the village, the woman’s family members and some locals placed her on a cot and walked towards the hospital when she delivered a baby girl on the cot itself in the middle of the road.
The relieved family members returned to the village with the mother and her newborn. The mother and her newborn girl are stated to be in good health.
