Pregnant woman carried on bed for 3 km to reach ambulance in Mulugu

Hyderabad: A pregnant woman from Rayabandham village in Mulugu district was carried on a bed for 3 km to reach an ambulance which could take her to a hospital. The villagers had to carry the woman due to a lack of road connectivity in the area.
