Faridabad Girl Dies After Falling into Uncovered Borewell; Rescue Operation Lasted Nearly 10 HoursPreviousNext

A two-and-a-half to three-year-old girl named Neha fell into an uncovered, nearly 200- to 250-foot-deep borewell in Seehi village, Faridabad, prompting a multi-agency rescue operation involving NDRF, SDRF, police, and fire services. The borewell, owned by the municipal corporation, had been unused for about 10 years, with its lid removed days before the incident. After nearly 10 hours of rescue efforts, Neha was pulled out early Monday but was declared dead at the hospital. Authorities continue investigating the uncovered borewell's circumstances.
