Many people die due to the unavailability of ambulances, and at times, ambulances cannot reach villages because of a lack of proper roads. Often, videos go viral showing patients being carried on bikes.
A similar video has now surfaced from Uttar Pradesh’s Mohabbatpur Jeeta village of Kaushambi district, where the family members carried the dead body of a woman to the cremation ground on a bike due to the non-availability of a vehicle.
According to reports, the dead body was carried on a bike for about 30 kilometres. The video of this incident is going viral on social media, and after watching it, people are raising serious questions about the functioning of the health department.

Following the incident, the police conducted a post-mortem and handed over the body to her family. The case is currently under investigation.
The deceased woman’s husband, Changulal, and son, Dharmendra, work in private jobs in Ghaziabad. At the time of the incident, the family had no access to a hearse, forcing them to take the drastic step of transporting the body on a motorcycle, NDTV reported.
District Magistrate Madhusudan Hulgi informed that concerned officials have been instructed to submit a detailed report on the entire incident at the earliest, following which further action, if any, would be taken.
