Pernem: In the serene village of Mandrem, the Korgaonkar family has endured significant hardships for the past two decades due to their home’s lack of proper road access. Their only path to the outside world is a narrow mud road, rendering it impossible for ambulances or any vehicles to reach their doorstep.
Recently, the family faced a particularly challenging situation when one of their elderly relatives fell seriously ill during heavy rainfall. With no ambulance able to navigate the muddy road, Pradeep Korgaonkar and his family members displayed incredible strength and determination. Braving the downpour, they carried the senior citizen on a stretcher all the way to the waiting ambulance outside the village.
This heartwrenching incident highlights the urgent need for improved infrastructure in Mandrem. The Korgaonkar family’s relentless struggle shines a spotlight on the difficulties faced by those living in remote areas with inadequate road facilities. Their courage and selflessness in the face of adversity serve as an inspiration to the entire community.
As we tell the story of Pradeep Korgaonkar and his family, we hope to raise awareness about the importance of accessible roads for every citizen. Their resilience and determination remind us of the fundamental human right to receive timely medical aid and support during emergencies. Let us come together and strive for positive change, ensuring that no family has to bear such burdensome challenges in the future. Together, we can make a difference and build a more inclusive and compassionate society for all.
