Overview

• In Gujarat’s Chhota Udepur, 36-year-old Vansi Raju Nayak was carried about 5 km on a cloth stretcher to reach care and was declared brought dead at Vadodara’s SSG Hospital at 2:22 a.m., hospital records show.
• Raopura police oversaw the post-mortem and handed the body to her husband, as villagers pointed to a lack of motorable access from Turkheda’s Khaidi Faliya and multiple referrals from the Kawant PHC.
• Chhota Udepur’s collector said tenders for internal roads have been issued with construction slated to begin in October after the monsoon.
• In Telangana’s Charla mandal, Ravva Bheema delivered on the roadside while being carried in a doli over a nearly 5-km forest stretch, and both mother and newborn were later reported in good health at the Satyanarayanapuram PHC.
• A separate Jharkhand incident showed similar access failures as a 20-year-old was carried on a cot across a flooded river after ambulance calls went unanswered, with doctors later reporting mother and child safe.
