According to a report, Gangamani, who hailed from Tulsipet village, waited for the ambulance to arrive for a long time after which she decided to walk to the hospital. But the excruciating labour pain did not allow her to walk for long and eventually, she had to lie down on the road and deliver her baby boy there.
The ambulance arrived a few hours later after which Gangamani and her boy were taken to the Pembi Primary Health Care Center. The report also stated that there was a delay in the ambulance’s arrival as it had run out of diesel.
