However, four of five surgeons at the hospital were recently transferred and one was on court duty, when two women developed abdominal pains.
Hospital authorities decided that transporting women to other hospitals would be impossible and called up MLA Tellam Venkat Rao, who is known for his surgical expertise.
The MLA who was in his constituency to oversee flood relief efforts, immediately took charge at the hospital and performed C-Sections on both women. B Swapna, P Pushpaleela delivered a boy and a girl respectively in their second pregnancies.
