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.
