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.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
