Three-Year-Old Girl Dies After Falling Into Borewell in Faridabad; Rescue Efforts Last Nearly 10 Hours
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, while playing near a tractor. The borewell, owned by the municipal corporation, had been unused for about 10 years, with its lid removed days before the accident. Rescue teams from NDRF, SDRF, police, and other agencies conducted a nearly 10-hour operation, during which Neha's cries were initially heard. She was eventually pulled out but declared dead at a hospital. The incident raised concerns about borewell safety and municipal oversight.
