She was essential for a clinical group that aided save two lives – a 26-year-old mother and her infant from Kadambakuttai ancestral town on the slopes of Bettamugilalam – late on Friday night.

In the interim, Madhuri's family members were journeying down conveying the lady on a sling made of bamboo and covers. The two groups met in the halfway. The clinical group gave Madhuri medical aid and managed IV liquids.
A wellbeing staff said, "Wellbeing Minister Ma Subramanian visited Bettamugilalam panchayat and surprisingly traveled to Kadambakuttai in July this year.

Else, we would need to sit tight for the emergency vehicle from Unichetti PHC, which is far away." Muniyappan said there was a deferral in traveling down as the sling they were conveying Madhuri on was torn in the halfway and they needed to make another.
VHN Sofia said, "This is an extraordinary encounter. At the point when we were generally preparing for Christmas festivities, I got a call from the BMO about the conveyance. Pressure grasped me promptly and we began imploring that nothing untoward ought to happen to the mother and the child."
J Murugesan, a resident of Kadambakuttai said, "Somewhere around seven days prior, we recognized an elephant close to our farmland. Fortunately, the clinical group or the patient didn't experience such an issue on Friday night. We appealed to the area organization to lay street or to resettle us at the lower regions.
Up to this point, we don't have the foggiest idea what befallen the petitions. A couple of days prior, we needed to convey my sister-in-law to medical clinic on an improvised sling. My dad passed on a couple of months prior without admittance to prompt clinical help." Krishnagiri Collector V Jaya Chandra Bhanu Reddy said the region organization was chipping away at the appeal.
