Fortunately, Kamala Devi successfully and safely crossed the stream, and there were no reports of any mishap. The whole incident was captured on camera, which is receiving praise from the netizens; a few are also criticizing her for risking her life just for vaccination.

One user wrote, “That is actually being irresponsible… What about her own family? Doesn’t she need to be responsible towards her loved ones? She could have waited a couple of days for the floods to subside and then go for vaccinations…”
