A pregnant woman swims across the river to keep her baby healthy

The Dhaka Times Desk The woman is nine months pregnant with her child. There is no other means of treatment except the hospital on the other side of the river. The river is also very dry and there are no boats in the river. So the woman risked her life and swam across the Kharsrota river for treatment.

Jadgir district is located 400 km north of Bangalore city in the Indian state of Karnataka. The incident took place in this district. This report was circulated in the media around the world, citing the BBC. As the river is very rough, no boats can go here. But it was very important to take care of this mother in labor so she thought of swimming across the river. The width of the river is about 1 km. He was accompanied by his father and brothers when he swam across the river. The woman who undertook such an adventure for the well-being and safe birth of her child was named Jellaba. He is 22 years old. The name of the village where Jellaba lives is Nilakantarayagyad. This village is an island village surrounded by river Krishna. You have to cross the river to come from this village to the city. Earlier there was a raft to cross the river, but now it is stopped because it could not withstand the current of the river.

Jellaba told the BBC about crossing the river, "At first I was very scared. But then I thought about my child's well being and decided to cross the river anyway. When Jellaba was crossing the river, each wave of the river Krishna was about 12 to 14 feet high. Jellabar was accompanied by his father, his brothers and cousins when he crossed this river. They used bottles, bottles and dry shells of gourds to float in the river. Jellabar's brother was in front of everyone during this crossing, he was giving directions. And his other brothers and cousins surround Jellaba with dry gourd shells so that he can float easily.

After crossing the Jellaba river safely, he reached the government health center of the nearby Kekkara village for treatment. She thinks that after another 20 to 25 days, the time of her child's delivery will come. Currently Jellaba is staying at a relative's house in Kekkara village.
