In the deep interiors of Araku Valley, for decades, tribal families had no choice but to carry their sick and pregnant women in makeshift stretchers (dolis) through forests, hills, and streams just to reach the nearest medical help. The journey was not only painful but sometimes fatal. Despite years of cries for help, little changed, until Pawan Kalyan decided to intervene.
Recently, a video went viral showing Pawan moved by the sight of women being carried in dolis through harsh terrain. But unlike many politicians who stop at sympathy, Pawan made a promise, and more importantly, kept it. He assured the women of Regu village in Araku that he would solve their decades-old problem. True to his word, a proper road has now been laid connecting their village to nearby health centers.
This new road has completely changed daily life in the region. Pregnant women and the sick can now access hospitals with dignity and safety. Families no longer live in fear of medical emergencies. Ambulances, which earlier refused to reach the remote village, can now drive up without difficulty.
For the women of Araku, Pawan is no longer just a film star or politician, he’s the reason they now have a safe path to hospitals, to life. “We’ll never forget what Pawan anna did for us,” said one local woman tearfully. “He ended our suffering when no one else even noticed it.”
Pawan’s action stands as a powerful reminder that real change begins when promises turn into action. In the case of Araku, it started with a single visit, and ended with a road that now carries not just people, but hope.
