Without road access, tribal woman gives birth under tree in Anakapalle
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|July 14, 2025
A 22-year-old pregnant woman was forced to give birth to a baby girl under a tamarind tree in the Anakapalle district due to the absence of road connectivity.
The woman, Pangi Sai, had to be carried in a doli (makeshift stretcher) for four kilometers to reach medical help from a remote hilltop village, Losingi, in Arla panchayat of Rolugunta mandal in Anakapalle district.
Sai, who was in labor with her second child, was carried by her husband, Sundar Rao and family members to YB Patnam, where she delivered the baby. Later, she was taken to Buchayyapeta Primary Health Centre (PHC) by ambulance.
The village is home to 70 families from a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), with a population of around 290.
