Bijapur (Chhattisgarh) [India], Jan 22 (ANI): A team of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on Tuesday carried an ailing
pregnant woman on a cot for at least 6 km through the jungles of Padeda village in Bijapur district to help her reach the hospital.The CRPF
was patrolling in the deep jungles of Padeda village as a regular exercise to enquire about the well being of villagers when they were
informed about the pregnant woman, who was not feeling well
The villagers who have confidence in the troops on account of their regular visits told the Coy Commander Avinash Rai about the poor health
condition of the pregnant woman.Wasting no time, the company commander along with his team consisting of first aid experts reached the house
of the woman named Boodi
After reaching there, the team learned that the woman was about to deliver a baby and required immediate medical attention
There was no medical health center in the vicinity as the village is located in a remote region
To add to the difficulty, no vehicle could reach the area due to a lack of roads
But, the team was not discouraged by the existing difficulty.Instead, the CRPF team quickly lifted the lady on a cot (like a palanquin) and
carried her on their shoulder for more than 6 km
When they reached the road head, they made arrangements for sending the lady to District Hospital Bijapur in a vehicle
