In the monsoon-ravaged Morena district of Madhya Pradesh, an injured woman named Kokila Kushwaha was transported across the swollen Son River on a cot secured to an inflated tube. The causeway linking Makunda village to the main road was submerged, leaving villagers with no safe passage. With no alternative route available, villagers improvised a stretcher and carefully ferried Kokila across the swollen river before taking her to Kailaras Hospital for treatment.
Kokila's son, Bunty Kushwaha, explained that the rising river had blocked their road, compelling them to use the precarious arrangement. Every monsoon season, residents face similar challenges as the Son River's swelling blocks the causeway, making it difficult for patients needing emergency care and schoolchildren to access essential services.
The villagers have repeatedly demanded a permanent bridge over the Son River to ensure safe connectivity during the rainy season.
