ASSAM (Dunya News) – An Indian citizen in Majoli village of Assam state was forced to take the dead body of his 18-year-old brother on bicycle due to absence of motorable road.

The man tied the body to the bicycle and crossed a makeshift bamboo bridge to reach the main road. Nobody helped the man in shifting the body and instead just stood there and watched the whole incident.

“What we have found is that the patient belongs to a village that falls under Lakhimpur district. But his family members decided to bring him to the civil hospital in Garamur, which is closer. Apparently, their village Balijan does not have a motorable road link, and they have to cross a makeshift bamboo bridge to reach the main road to Garamur,” Majuli Deputy Commissioner P G Jha told The Indian Express.



“They had brought the patient on a bicycle. Following his death due to respiratory problems, they left with his body tied to a bicycle. This happened despite the hospital having a hearse van,” said Jha.

Assam Chief Minister while taking notice of the incident has sent a team to probe the matter. Majoli is the first village of the state which has been declared Wi-Fi equipped by the Assam CM.

This is not the first incident in India of this kind. Eight months back, a man carried the dead body of his wife to home on his shoulders for nearly 12 km as he had no money for a hearse van.

Poor people in villages are at the mercy of nature. They better hope they stay healthy. If they become severely ill, there is very little they can do.

The article could have been about any remote village in any state of the country. Some make it to the news. Most don't.

If they are ill chances of reaching the nearest hospitals on time is very low.

Sad reality of subcontinent. I hope the chest thumpers think about these folks before blurting out GDP figures and supposed status as "superpower"
