In Maharashtra's Gadchiroli district, a family carried an injured tribal man on a cot for 14 km to the nearest hospital, crossing a swollen stream using a boat. Mallu Majji (67) suffered injuries while working on his farm and had to be transported on a makeshift stretcher. The rural hospital at Bhamragadh, 14 km from the village, is the closest medical facility, but lacks a bridge to cross the stream, necessitating the family's determination and effort.
