Two months after tribal woman Sangeeta Gedam died following childbirth when an ambulance reportedly could not reach her remote hamlet, residents of Ghodankappi in Jiwti taluka have begun building their own road.

On World Tribal Day, villagers, led by Sangeeta’s husband Tulsiram Gedam, started improving the 1.5-km rocky stretch connecting the hamlet to the main road.
