At least eight villagers carried the tribal woman on a cot on her shoulders across the drain in Mungeli district. There was another woman on the cot with him.

“It was a very specific case. The drain was flooded due to which it had to be carried on a cot. Due to several NGT (National Green Tribunal) regulations and the high cost of construction of around 10-12 crores, the proposal Takes time to pass. The proposal will be sent to the authorities soon,” he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
