An Indian man had carried his wife's body on his shoulders. He had walked for nearly 12 km carrying his dead wife home from the hospital because the hospital authorities allegedly did not provide vehicle for him.
Dana Majhi, a daily wage labourer, together with his 12-year old daughter by his side, carried the body of his wife wrapped in cloth.
His wife Amang Dei had died of tuberculosis early on Wednesday morning.
"I requested everyone, but no one listened. What option did I have other than carrying her," said Majhi.
The Indian man walked for almost 12km when some youths saw him and alerted local officials. Soon, an ambulance was sent which took the body to Melghar village.
Brunda D, a Kalahandi district collector claimed that the man did not wait for a vehicle to be arranged. She has sanctioned for Majhi Rs 2000 from the state government's funeral assistance scheme and another Rs 10,000 from the District Red Cross Fund.
