No ambulance, parents carry dead sons 15 km on their shoulders

Opposition leader shares shocking video and criticises health system

Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Vijay Wadettiwar shared the harrowing video showing the unidentified couple carrying the bodies of their deceased sons on their shoulders along a muddy forest path.

He said that due to delayed treatment, the boys' health deteriorated rapidly and they died within a few hours.

“There was not even an ambulance to take the bodies of the two minors to their village. Pattigaon and the parents were forced to walk 15 kilometres along the rain-soaked, muddy path,” Wadettiwar said.

Opposition leader criticizes government officials and points to health problems

Wadettiwar criticised Devendra Fadnavis of the Bharatiya Janata Party and Dharmarao Baba Atram of the Nationalist Congress Party for promising state development while ignoring the fundamental problems in Gadchiroli.

“Home Minister Devendra Fadnavis is the guardian of this district. This is the constituency of Dharma Rao Baba Atram, the cabinet minister of the Grand Alliance, who captured the constituency by helicopter.”

“Both say that we can move forward every day by holding events across Maharashtra,” Wadettiwar wrote.

The couple comes from Aheri Taluka

The incident occurred on September 4 in the remote village of Pattigaon and was the second such incident in the Vidarbha region this week.

On September 1, a pregnant tribal woman from Dahendri village in Melghat tribal district of Amravati gave birth to a dead child at home and later succumbed to her own pain because a local hospital failed to send an ambulance in time.
