A tribal man in the Bastar region of Chhattisgarh has died after waiting ten hours for an ambulance. His family attempted to get help as he struggled with a serious illness. The delay in emergency services raised concerns about the accessibility of healthcare in rural areas. After the man passed away, his family faced another hardship. They had to wait four more hours for a hearse to take his body for final rites. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges in medical transportation and resources in tribal areas. Local officials have expressed sympathy for the family but have not provided clear answers on how to improve the ambulance services. Many community members are unhappy with the slow response times and are calling for urgent action to prevent such tragedies in the future.
