CHILD FELL TO BOREWELL
A four-year-old girl fell into a 70-foot
borewell at Kasan village here on Wednesday,21st June,2012, night
when relatives and friends had gathered at her house to celebrate her birthday.
A rescue operation by the district administration and the Army was on till late
in the night.Though the district administration could not give a clear word on
the medical condition of Mahi, who was trapped inside the eight-inch-wide
borewell, oxygen was being continuously supplied inside the pit and a camera
lowered to ascertain her condition.“The camera, lowered to a depth of about 65
feet, could only capture a blurred image of her hand. It is difficult to
ascertain her condition from it. We are keeping our fingers crossed and
supplying oxygen in the hope that she will survive the ordeal,” said Deputy
Commissioner of Police (South) Parveen Mehta.The District Magistrate has
ordered a probe by Additional Deputy Commissioner K.M. Pandurang.
Mahi was playing with her cousin just
outside the house while guests were being entertained inside when she
accidentally stepped into the borewell around 11 p.m. “Her cousin tried to
catch hold of her, but could grasp only her fingers. Mahi’s parents, guests and
neighbours came rushing out and tried to reach her, but in vain. We could hear
her pleading for help and telling her father that it was too dark inside.
Almost an hour after the incident, she fell silent,” said Surender, a friend of
Mahi’s father Neeraj Upadhyaya, who is a private security guard.The matter was
reported to the police almost an hour later and an excavator was hired from a
local contractor to dig a pit parallel to the borewell. Senior district
administration officials, including Deputy Commissioner P.C. Meena, reached the
spot and a team of 3 Engineers Regiment from the Delhi Cantonment joined the
operation at the break of dawn.As the day progressed, a rig machine used for
digging metro railway pillars was pressed into service.According to locals, the
owner of the house, Rohtash Tayal, had dug the borewell a fortnight ago and
left it open. Though the locals covered it with a stone slab, someone removed
it on Wednesday night to park an auto-rickshaw in which guests arrived for the
birthday.
