Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): An SDRF team rescued a pregnant woman from Jamni village in Madhya Pradesh's Sehore district amid heavy rain and helped take her to hospital on time on Monday.
The woman was suffering from labour pain when a 108 ambulance reached the village to take her to hospital. However, the ambulance could not enter the village as a drain had swollen due to heavy rain.
Seeing the situation, the SDRF team reached the spot and used a boat to safely bring the woman out of the village. She was then handed over to the 108 ambulance staff.
Videos show the SDRF team and some locals pulling a rope attached to the boat to help it move safely through the flowing water.
