Woman Gives Birth on Cot Crossing River After Ambulance Fails to Reach Village in Madhya Pradesh
In Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district, 35-year-old Savita Vishwakarma gave birth while being carried on a cot across a swollen river after an ambulance could not reach her remote village due to monsoon flooding. Villagers said the area remains cut off each rainy season as the only access road is interrupted by the river, and repeated requests for a bridge and proper road have gone unmet. Both mother and newborn were later taken to Amarwara Civil Hospital and are reported healthy.
