In a heart-wrenching scene that highlights the dire condition of rural infrastructure, a newborn baby and the mother were carried home on the shoulders of neighbours after childbirth, as no vehicle could pass through the dilapidated TK Road in the Khowai sub-division of Tripura.

The incident took place on the much-discussed TK Road stretch leading to the Khamartilla area. Locals were compelled to carry the mother and her newborn due to the impassable state of the road, exposing the grave negligence in maintaining basic public infrastructure.

This alarming situation has triggered widespread concern among residents, with many urging the administration to take immediate steps to repair the road. The visuals from the spot show the extent of hardship people are facing, especially during emergencies.

Residents of Khowai have long been demanding the repair of TK Road, but repeated appeals seem to have fallen on deaf ears. The incident has reignited debates on rural connectivity and the government’s accountability in ensuring essential services.
