Keonjhar: Fire service personnel came to the rescue of a pregnant woman, who required urgent hospitalisation but was stranded after her village in Odisha’s Keonjhar district was cut off by incessant rain in the last few days.

The woman, who is three months pregnant, from Munda Sahi in Talapada panchayat of Telkoi block needed to be shifted to hospital after developing complications.

But with no road access to Mundai Sahi, the only way to shift her to hospital was by crossing the flooded Samakoi river.
