One would not know if such incidents take place in any other country but India witnesses such heartrending accidents at least one each year.
When a child falls into a deep bore well, gets incarcerated for hours and days, gasping for breath, water let alone food. When chances of survival is very low.
Yesterdaym one such child, and shockingly a two and half year old girl, has been inside a deep bore well of almost 300 feet in Madya Pradesh’s Sesore district.
Despite repeat of such incidents, till date there is no effort to make such bore-wells fortified.
A team of robotic experts and the Army on Thursday joined the rescue operation.
The two-and-half-years-old girl, who was stuck at 25-30 ft depth in the 300-ft deep borewell, has slipped further down, according to Sehore district administration.
“We have lowered a robot into the borewell to collect information and we are processing the data by scanning to know about the child’s health condition,” Mahesh Arya, the robotic team in-charge told the media.
A team of the Indian Army also joined the rescue operation late on Wednesday night. However, it was yet to ascertain the condition of the child.
According to the district administration officials, oxygen was being supplied to the girl in the borewell through a pipe. With more than 46 hours gone, the task to pull the girl out of the borewell has become more difficult as she has slipped further down and got stuck at a depth of nearly 100 ft, as per the officials.
The girl, named Srishti, fell into the borewell at around 1 p.m. on Tuesday and since then efforts have been on to rescue her.
As many as 12 earth-moving and other machines were also currently engaged in the rescue operation, they said. CM Chouhan and a team of officials were in touch with the district authorities to supervise the rescue operation, they said.
