Following the report in mid-day on January 29, about the resident of a tribal village in  Palghar district, who was forced to carry his six-year-old son’s body home on a two-wheeler as he was allegedly denied an ambulance because he could not afford it, the district collector has ordered an enquiry into the matter.


Palghar Collector Manik Gursal has said that action will be taken against whoever is guilty in this matter.



Dr Ramdas Marad, who treated Ajay Pardhi in Jawhar rural hospital has said, “We don’t have an ambulance to carry the dead body but still, we were trying to arrange for an ambulance for them to carry the body of their son. But they left the hospital in a hurry, possibly due to fear of a post mortem procedure on the body of their son. This is the whole issue.”
