Anoop Paswan/Korba. In Korba district, problems arise very frequently in the forest areas away from the city, but relief work is done very late. The medical staff of Primary Health Center Lemru and the villagers of the area are going through similar problems. There was electricity failure here since the day of voting. There was no electricity till Wednesday night. Even after information, electricity relief could not be provided.
Due to lack of electricity in the primary health centre, the health workers had to deliver a pregnant woman by lighting the flash light of her mobile phone. After delivery, both mother and child are healthy. After this, other treatments including dressing of a child suffering from injury were also done in the same manner with the help of mobile torch. After all this, there was panic among the staff and patients when a poisonous snake entered room number 12 of the nursing station of the hospital at around 10.30 pm. The health center staff showed courage and somehow took out the snake, only then the patients and health workers heaved a sigh of relief.
There is frequent power cut at night
This is not the first time that the problem of power interruption has arisen in this area. Lemru area is a forest area away from the city, yet the villagers here have to struggle with poor electricity system. This has happened many times when even in emergency cases like treatment of patients and delivery, health workers have to continue the medical services with the help of their mobile torch or candle light.
