In a heart touching development, Tellam Venkat Rao, MLA of Badrachalam constituency in Telangana, chipped in to perform deliveries to save two pregnant women. Thanks to MLA’s timely intervention, the two pregnant women delivered health babies at Badrachalam Area Hospital on Tuesday.
As heavy rains hit Badrachalam and surrounding areas, pregnant women from Agency areas were shifted to Badrachalam Area Hospital as precautionary measure by Government officials. Meanwhile two pregnant women, Swapna from Regupally and Pushpaleela from Cherla, experienced severe pains. But there was no gynecologist to take care of them and no surgeon to conduct deliver.
