A man carried his dead wife for 12 kilometers in India. read why!!

An impoverished man in India carried his wife’s
body for 12km after the hospital where she died
allegedly failed to provide an ambulance to carry
the body back to their village.
Dana Majhi’s wife Amang, 42, died from
tuberculosis in the district hospital in
Bhawanipatna town in Orissa state.
Mr Majhi said his village was 60km (37 miles)
away and he couldn’t afford to hire a vehicle.
The hospital authorities have denied his charge.
“The woman was admitted to the hospital on
Tuesday and died the same night. Her husband
took away her body without informing any
hospital staff,” senior medical official B Brahma
said.
Mr Majhi, however, alleged that his wife died on
Tuesday night and that he began walking with her
body on Wednesday after the hospital staff kept
asking him to remove the body.
“I kept pleading with the hospital staff to provide
a vehicle to carry my wife’s body, but to no avail.
Since I am a poor man and could not hire a
private vehicle, I had no choice but to carry her
body on my shoulder,” he said.
Early on Wednesday, he said, he wrapped up the
body in cloth and began the long trek to his
village in Melghar for the last rites, accompanied
by his 12-year-old daughter Chaula.
He had walked for about 12km when some people
on the way intervened and an ambulance finally
arrived.
The cremation took place on Wednesday evening.
