Picture of helplessness in Maharashtra: 70-year-old husband reached hospital with ailing wife on his shoulder; Walked 4 km, but could not save life

A very sad incident took place on Wednesday in Chandsaili Ghat village of Nandurbar district in Maharashtra. Due to the roads closed due to rain and landslides, an elderly man had to leave for the hospital on foot carrying his wife on his shoulder. They even went for four kilometers, but the wife died on the way. There was a landslide at Chandsali Ghat on Tuesday. After this its contact with the main road was lost.

It is being told that 70-year-old Adalya Padvi’s 65-year-old wife Sidlibai’s health deteriorated. He had high fever. No vehicle could reach the village and the condition of the wife was getting worse. In such a situation, Adalya made up her mind to take the wife to the hospital by lifting her on her shoulder.

Wife’s life not saved
Adalya walked about four kilometers carrying his wife on his shoulder. The old bones were answering again and again and they were forced to make the wife sit and sleep several times on the way. However, his attempt failed when the doctor declared his wife dead after reaching the hospital. The doctor told that due to high fever, the woman died on the way.

The old man had to take off his wife several times on the way and make her sit on the road.

Tribal Development Minister of this area, still no development
People belonging to the tribal community of Chandsali are in mourning due to this incident. The most important thing about this case is that Tribal Development Minister KC Padvi also comes from this area. There are no roads in this area. Almost every year the Chandsali Ghat is closed due to landslides and thousands of tribals are imprisoned in their villages for several days. There are no health facilities in Chandsali village. Therefore people have to go to Nandurbar, Taloda, Dhadgaon for treatment.

Blasting is a major cause of landslide
A tower is being built for 132 kV sub-station in Dhadgaon. It is believed that explosives are being used to break the stone before its construction. Because of this, the mountains here have become weak and they start collapsing only in light rain.

As per the rules, roadside hills should be covered with iron mesh before blasting. However, locals complain that the contractor is not taking any such precautions.
