A 33-year-old farmer, Sadanand Marale got his leg badly injured after it got pulled into a power tiller he was operating to loosen the soil in his village in Palghar district on November 20. Marale was in severe pain and almost fainted due to heavy blood loss because no ambulance driver was ready to take him to the hospital as the teeth of the machine had pierced his calf muscle and severely injured his toes.
After three hours of a chaotic struggle, one of the villagers contacted ambulance driver Akil Sayyed, who rushed him to hospital. “When I arrived, I saw people trying to free Marale’s leg from the teeth of the power tiller. They had already wasted three crucial hours trying to free him. I suggested not to remove the cultivator’s teeth, as it would cause massive loss of blood and it could be fatal,” Sayyed recalled while talking to mid-day.
