In Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh, a sick 12-year-old boy named Guddu Kevat was carried in a cloth bag for kilometers to reach the hospital for treatment. This incident took place in Jawa janpad area two days ago. A video of the family carrying the child in a bundle went viral on social media on Friday. The video showed members of the family carrying the sick boy in a large cloth, walking through deep mud for two to three kilometers to reach the main road.
The path was completely blocked by water after a portion of Mini Bansagar canal collapsed due to continuous heavy rainfall. As emergency vehicles and ambulances could not navigate through the waterlogged area, the villagers resorted to carrying the boy on their shoulders. Rewa district collector Narendra Suryavanshi ordered an investigation into the lack of road connectivity and administrative failure after seeing the video.
Suryavanshi stated that although the road was available, the family had taken a shortcut to reach the main road, which led to the incident.
