Pregnant woman's arduous doli journey highlights neglect in road construction

Deccan Chronicle  

Visakhapatnam: A 19-year-old pregnant Korrasanthi undertook an arduous journey in a doli on Thursday from Jajula Bandha village to Arla via Pitrigadda, eventually reaching the Daunuru Primary Medical Centre in Koyyuru mandal. Jajula Bandha, a hilltop village with a population of 160, had been allocated Rs 1 crore from the MGNREGA funds by the Paderu ITDA Project Officer in 2023 to erect a road connecting it to Arla village via Pitrigadda. The elders of Jajula Bandha and Pitrigadda villages, including Korra Kamesh and Konadamala Venkat Rao, demand that the ITDA officials inspect all the roads. They emphasize that if the road from Jajula Bandha to Arla village via Pitrigadda had been completed earlier, the villagers would have been spared from making doli journeys in critical situations.
