Relatives, local authorities think outside the box as flooding poses risk
Officials in Telangana employed unconventional modes of transport to shift two pregnant women to safety owing to flooding in their respective areas. While one was taken to hospital on an excavator, the other was wheeled out on a railway trolley! A young pregnant woman in Autonagar of Rajanna Sircilla district developed labour pain on Tuesday morning. However, her locality and the roads were heavily inundated following incessant rain over the past two days. Superintendent of Police Rahul Hegde said her relatives put their heads together and came up with some solutions they thought could work. As part of their plan, a lorry was bought in but the vehicle couldn’t make its way through the water.More Related News
