A girl aged around three years fell into a borewell in the Kotputli-Behror district of Rajasthan, and the NDRF and SDRF have been deployed to rescue her from the 150-feet-deep borewell, officials said.

The girl, Chetna, was playing in his father's farm in the Sarund area when she accidently slipped into the borewell, they said.

“The teams of NDRF, SDRF and administration have been trying to carry out the rescue operations. We have placed a ring below the girl so we are hoping we can rescue her soon... There has been no deterioration in the girl’s medical conditions,” said Sub Division Magistrate (SDM) Brajesh Choudhary while speaking to the media.

However, SDRF Sub-Inspector Ravi Kumar highlighted the challenges posed by the surrounding soil. “The soil around her is compacted due to moisture, making it difficult to dig further. Despite these hurdles, we are trying our best and are unsure of the time required,” Mr. Kumar added.

NDRF and SDRF teams have reached the spot and are trying to pull the girl out with the help of a hook attached to a rod, Sarund SHO Mohammad Imran said.

The girl's movements were captured through a camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.

"The girl is stuck at a depth of nearly 150 feet. Her movements are being monitored," he said.
