Pregnant Andhra woman carried to hospital in makeshift stretcher delivers baby in open
New Delhi : A pregnant woman in Andhra Pradesh’s Vijayanagaram district delivered a baby in open while she was en route a hospital on a makeshift cloth stretcher due to non-availability of road and vehicle in the area. A video tweeted by news agency ANI shows a group of men and women walking cautiously in a forested area on a road full of mud and stones, carrying the pregnant woman in the makeshift stretcher to reach the hospital that was 7 kilometres away.
The ANI report said that after travelling around 4 kilometres, the lady could not take the pain anymore. The people who were carrying the lady to the hospital and a few women accompanying then decided to stop their journey midway and help the woman deliver the baby.
With the help of ladies, the pregnant woman delivered the baby in open. Later, the villagers decided to return home. Both, the lady and the baby are safe and are doing fine, it said.
This is not the first time when a pregnant lady was carried on a makeshift stretcher to reach the hospital to deliver a baby in Vijayanagaram due to non-availability of roads. Earlier on July 29, a pregnant woman had to be carried for 12 kilometres to the hospital due to lack of roads and vehicles.
In June, a video of a pregnant woman from Kerala being carried by her family members in a bedsheet had gone viral on the internet.

BJP councillor dies by suicide after being threatened by youths following party's bypoll win
Agartala (PTI): A BJP councillor of Dharmanagar Municipal Council (DMC) in North Tripura died by suicide on Tuesday after he was allegedly threatened and humiliated by a group of youth following the saffron party's victory in the Dharmanagar bypoll, police said.
Rahul Kishore Roy, who was also the BJP's Yuva Morcha mandal president, took the extreme step a day after BJP candidate Jahar Chakraborti won the bypoll for the Dharmagar Assembly constituency by a massive margin.
Chief Minister Manik Saha expressed shock over the youth leader's death and assured an impartial inquiry into the allegations brought by the deceased’s wife, Ananya Bhattacharjee.
"I am shocked by the untimely death of Rahul Kishore Roy. May his soul rest in peace, and also offer my sympathy to the bereaved family. I also assured that an impartial inquiry will be conducted following the complaint of the deceased's wife", the CM wrote on Facebook.
Roy's wife has lodged a complaint with the local police station, holding seven persons responsible for her husband's death.
"Soon after the announcement of the results of the bypoll to the Dharmagnar Assembly bypoll, six to seven youths attacked our residence at Chandrapur at 3 pm and started hurling abuses at my husband. They also assaulted me to hand over my husband to them," she stated in the complaint.
Ananya said, "The same gang returned late at night again, attacked our house and hurled two or three bombs. They also threatened to eliminate my husband whenever he is found at Dharmanagar."
Deeply upset by the attacks and threats, my husband committed suicide by hanging from the ceiling early Tuesday morning. I urge the Officer in Charge (OC), Dharmanagar police station, to investigate against these people for justice, she said.
"Based on a specific complaint, we have registered a case, and an investigation is underway. No one has been arrested yet," SP, North Tripura, Avinash Kumar Rai said.
