Man Carries Sick Wife on Back for Six Hours to Hospital in Remote Bironkhali

In the remote hill settlement of Bironkhali, a man undertook a grueling six‑hour trek carrying his seriously ill wife on his back. The couple had to navigate steep, uneven paths because the area lacks proper roads and any nearby medical centre.
The journey involved a continuous uphill climb, during which the man supported his wife's weight without any assistance. After hours of physical strain, they finally arrived at the nearest hospital, where the wife received medical attention.
Local observers say the incident highlights the chronic neglect of infrastructure in isolated mountain communities, where residents often rely on sheer endurance to access basic health services.
Authorities have been urged to improve road connectivity and establish a health outpost in the region to prevent similar hardships in the future.
The couple's ordeal drew attention to the broader challenges faced by residents of Bironkhali and similar villages across the Himalayas.
