For 28-year-old Namita Umang, the price of a rain-ravaged road between her home and a hospital 30 kilometres away in Assam's Cachar district, has been the life of a baby. On Wednesday, when her family was rushing her to the Silchar Medical College and Hospital, unable to bear the endless bumpy ride, Namita had to give birth to her twins by the muddy and potholed road before she could reach the hospital. Only one survived.
