Bhadrak: A pregnant woman in Odisha’s Bhadrak district was taken to a community health centre on a makeshift raft after floodwater cut off her village and prevented an ambulance from reaching her.
The incident took place in Dadhibamanpur Pal village under Jagannath Prasad panchayat in Basudevpur block, where the Mantei River is in spate, inundating several areas.
Parshuram said the family had visited a government hospital three days earlier.
With roads inaccessible and emergency transport unable to reach the village, the family had no option but to use the door as a makeshift raft to take her to the health centre, he said.
