Rajasthan: Efforts on to rescue three-year-old girl from borewell
Jaipur, Dec 25: Efforts were on to rescue a three-year-old girl who fell into a 150-foot deep borewell in Sarund area of Rajasthan's Kotputli district two days ago, police said on Wednesday.
The girl, Chetna, fell into the borewell while playing in the agriculture farm of her father at Kitarpura in Sarund at around 3 pm on Monday.
Sarund police station SHO Mohammad Imran said that teams of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been trying to rescue the girl safely for more than 50 hours.
