Ongole: Chenchu tribal people, who co-inhabit big cats and other wild animals in the over 80 remote hamlets in the mighty Nalamalla forests, die early hitherto succumbing to communicable and non-communicable diseases in the absence of timely medical services.
\r\nThe members of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) physically carry the sick by putting them on a makeshift dolly and trek miles together to the hospitals in the plains in the absence of motorable roads. |
