Rajasthan girl pulled out 10 days after falling into borewell, declared dead
After 10 days of searching, three-year-old Chetna's body was found in Kotputli. She was declared dead at the hospital. A post-mortem is underway as authorities continue investigating the incident.
A three-year-old girl, who fell into a borewell in
Rajasthan's Kotputli 10 days ago, was declared dead on Wednesday.
Earlier today, after being rescued, she was immediately taken to a
nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead and sent her body for
post-mortem examination.
The girl was trapped in a
700-foot-deep borewell in Kotputli, and her condition worsened ahead of the
rescue.
She had fallen into a borewell
on the afternoon of December 23 while playing outside. About 10 minutes later,
her family heard her cries and found her stuck in the borewell.
The national and state Disaster Relief
Forces, along with a medical team, arrived promptly, and efforts to rescue her began.
Oxygen was supplied through a pipe. Earlier, attempts were made to
pull out the girl using an iron ring attached to a rope.
However, there was no luck and a piling machine was brought to the
spot on Wednesday to dig a tunnel parallel to the borewell. To accelerate the
operation, a 100-tonne capacity crane was brought in on Thursday, replacing the
50-tonne machine. On Friday, the digging was stopped due to heavy rains in the region.
In the hours that followed, neither food nor oxygen could be
provided, and her condition worsened.
The health of the girl's mother,
Dhole Devi, has deteriorated since the accident. An emotionally distraught Dhole Devi had earlier appealed
to the administration to bring her daughter out at the earliest, claiming
negligence.
The girl's parents have blamed the local officials for prolonging
the rescue operation.
