Malkangiri: Absence of motorable roads continues to be a bane of people of interior parts of Odisha and the worst sufferers are patients and expectant mothers as ambulances often fail to reach their doorsteps in time.

An expectant mother had to be carried on a cot for nearly seven km from Goiguda village to Muduliguda village on Friday. She was then shifted to Malkangiri hospital in an ambulance from there.

Her identity is yet to be ascertained.

On January 9, a pregnant woman was carried on a cot for nearly five km in the absence of ambulance services due to poor roads at Chhadadihi village under Bansapala block in Keonjhar district.
