They urge officials to construct a road in the area
The absence of pucca roads to the remote tribal hamlets of Visakhapatnam district continues to be a major problem for the tribal people, who have to carry pregnant women in ‘dolis’ over long distances to reach the nearest road point, which could be reached by an ambulance. Sidari Chilakamma (26), of Kinneralova village, suffered labour pains on June 9 and as there is no proper road to their village, she had to be carried in a makeshift ‘doli’ to the Teegalavalasa road point, 10 km away. Kinneralova is a PVTG (Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group) village of Teegalavalasa panchayat in Hukumpeta mandal.More Related News
