In a distressing incident highlighting the challenges faced by rural communities, a pregnant woman had to be carried on shoulders to a hospital in a remote area of Andhra Pradesh. The incident occurred in a village lacking proper road connectivity, forcing family members to carry the woman for several kilometers through difficult terrain.
The absence of accessible roads left the family with no option but to transport the woman in this precarious manner. Visuals of the ordeal show her being carried along a narrow path, with relatives taking turns to bear the burden.

Local residents expressed frustration over the lack of basic infrastructure, which often forces them to navigate such situations during medical emergencies. Despite repeated requests to the authorities for improved road connectivity, little has been done to address the issue.
The woman was eventually brought to the nearest hospital, where she received medical attention. Her condition is reported to be stable. The incident has sparked renewed calls for better infrastructure and healthcare facilities in remote areas of the state.
