During the legislative session today, the topic of potholes in Nashik district took centre stage and sparked a heated discussion among the MLAs. However, amidst this debate, a heart-wrenching incident has been brought to light from Igatpuri in Nashik district.
In a shocking turn of events, a pregnant mother lost her life due to the lack of a proper road, leading to a delay in receiving timely medical treatment. With no accessible road, they had to carry her on a makeshift stretcher, covering a distance of about three kilometres. Tragically, she succumbed on her way to the hospital, and this incident has understandably triggered a wave of anger and grief among the citizens.
The victim, Vanita Bhavdu Bhagat (23), was a pregnant woman from Igatpuri taluka who was experiencing abdominal pain. Despite the lack of a proper road, her family made relentless efforts to rush her to the hospital. Amidst heavy rainfall, they had to carry her, using a stretcher, for a distance of about three kilometres. Tragically, both the woman and her unborn child lost their lives on the way, leaving the family devastated by this heart-wrenching incident.
A woman, along with her son, lost their lives due to a lack of healthcare and communication. Such incidents have once again exposed the apathy of the administration and the negligence of the people's representatives.
