Mumbai: In what can be termed a tragic incident, a pair of newborn twins died right in front of their mother as they failed to reach the hospital due to the lack of “roads”.
The newborns had premature birth and the incident was reported from the Palghar district in Maharastra.
The family of the woman tried to take her and the children to the hospital in a makeshift stretcher and they carried them for near 3 km and that too through rocky terrain and slippery slopes.
During the journey, she also bled heavily.
