Nizamabad: A 25-year-old woman died due to viral fever in the Agency area of the district as Bheemuniguda and Narsapur hamlets which have been waterlogged for the past five days because of flashfloods triggered by incessant rains lashing the district for the past several days.
The two villages remained cut off from the outside world as streams and rivulets in the Agency area are in spate.Speaking to The Hans India on Tuesday, Bheemuniguda Patel Lakshman Rao said Nagubai died of viral fever as there was no means of transport to cross the water bodies that are in flood. For the past 25 years, their village has no pucca road facility and the villages have been encountering these problems. For want of roads, the villagers are facing problems in pursuing education and availing of medical help.
One of the villagers Sandhya Bai said that women were walking across the stream with hand-in-hand treading carefully. She breathed fire against officials for their apathetic attitude. She said the villagers are facing difficult in transporting their rations like rice and pulses. On a rainy day the schoolchildren will have a holiday as the teacher would not turn up at the school.
Another villager Penduru Bhujanga Rao said that the students were facing hardships to go out of the village to pursue education in places like Utnoor. Even to reach Utnoor one has to trek 10 km and reach Dantanpalli, from where one has to take a three-wheeler.
The possibility of returning to the village in case of rain is remote. Recently, a person who tried to cross the stream which is in spate was washed away. The tribals have been urging the authorities to respond positively to their problems and come to their rescue by taking steps to lay road to their village and build a road bridge on the streams.
Even an ambulance cannot reach Chittadari Khanapur hamlet, the remotest habitat in Adialabad district. Patients are virtually carried on cots to take them to hospitals. Sometimes, tribals die en route to hospitals for want of timely medical assistance.
The tribals have been demanding transport facility to their inaccessible villages.
