These visuals are from Lopeta village under Bandhugaon block of Koraput district in Odisha. In the absence of proper road and transport facilities, a 108 ambulance driver was forced to carry a pregnant woman for 3km on a cot. According to sources, family members of an expectant mother Sunita Pidika from the village contacted 108 Ambulance after she complained of labour pain. However, due to improper road connectivity, the ambulance had to be stationed 3km away from the village. With no option left, Sunita’s husband along with the ambulance driver and other relatives carried the pregnant woman on a cot to the ambulance from where she was taken to the local hospital. The condition of the woman was stable during the filing of this report. Following such inconvenience, residents of the Lopeta Village criticised Odisha Government's claims of ‘Gaon Ku Rashta’ and ‘Maa ku Sanman’ schemes. The locals further questioned that even if the government claims of spending crores of rupees for the development of rural areas, where is the money going?
