“The hospital did not provide us any ambulance, we rented a vehicle from the hospital to Nuner amid the massive snowfall and unclear roads,” the family member said.
From the Nuner area, no street had been cleaned by the administration and the whole area is shut because of the snow.
“Amid such harsh conditions and closed roads, we had to carry the dead man on our shoulders on a make-shift cart,” he said, adding, ” the admin is more focussed on urban areas.”
