Social media in shock:
“It’s heartbreaking to see such tough decisions—crossing a dangerous stream with a pregnant woman or risking her life without hospital care. These challenges in tribal areas need urgent attention,” wrote an X user.
Another added, “It is so dangerous and scary.” A third commented, “It’s a powerful and tragic situation highlighting the tough choices faced by people in remote, underdeveloped regions. The dilemma between risking life to cross a dangerous stream and the equally serious risk of not getting urgent medical care emphasises the critical need for infrastructure development, especially for vulnerable tribal communities. Stories like these shed light on the broader issues of access to healthcare, transport, and support systems that should be prioritised to ensure the safety and well-being of marginalised populations.”
A fourth added, “It breaks my heart to see the condition of some of our people go through on a daily basis. Surely, they need to be addressed ASAP. Why not build a bridge or construct a hospital?”
People also tagged the official X account Pawan Kalyan, Minister of Environment, Forests, Science, and Technology of Andhra Pradesh, to attract his attention to the plight of the villagers.
