Remote Village Family Suffers Due to Lack of Road Access
In a remote village, a man named Marri Kameswara Rao faced a terrible tragedy.
Because there's no road to get to the hospital, his wife died because she couldn't get medical help in time.
Later, his baby son also passed away due to the lack of access to medical care.
The villagers tried to build a road, and the government promised money, but the road is still not finished.
Now, the man and the community are pleading for help so that others don't suffer the same fate.
Marri Kameswara Rao lost his wife and infant son due to lack of road access.
The family resides in Jajula Bandha, a remote hilltop village.
The nearest hospital is 28 kilometers away, inaccessible by vehicle.
Villagers raised funds for a road in 2020, but it remains incomplete.
Government funds were allocated but work stalled, leading to protests.
