From Chauharghati Mandi, HP, Kamla Devi, a health worker, crossed a flooded stream by jumping to reach Hurang village and vaccinate babies. With roads blocked due to floods and landslides, she carried duty on her shoulders."
One user wrote, "That is actually being irresponsible… What about her own family? Doesn’t she need to be responsible towards her loved ones? She could have waited a couple of days for the floods to subside and then go for vaccinations…"
Another user wrote, "Useless government agencies for not providing a bridge here for her & others to cross safely. It's so risky !!! What if she were swept away? And the rocks so treacherous!"
