His relatives allege that though Lal was rescued in time, the state government transferred him to at least three hospitals before bringing him to Doon hospital.
"They wasted so much time. By the time, he reached here (Doon Hospital), it was too late. The septic had set in by then in his right leg, which had to be amputated," Lal's brother-in-law Keshav told IANS.
Lal was at Rambada when rains pounded the place, triggering landslides on June 16. Survivors have described how the once-bustling place has turned into a ghost town.
Lal ran towards the jungle, but was hit by a boulder that crushed his leg.
Writhing in extreme pain, Lal stayed in the jungle without food and water. But the damage had been done.
He was rescued by the army three days later.
