The Incident:
A pregnant woman in a rural village of Sidhi, MP, went into labor. Her family called for an ambulance, but it took too long to arrive. With no other option, her husband placed her on a wooden handcart and took her towards the hospital. Tragically, she gave birth on the way, and due to a lack of medical support, the newborn passed away shortly after birth.
