The national and state Disaster Relief Forces swung into action and with a medical team, they made efforts to rescue her. Since then, they have been trying various ways to pull her out.
The little girl was supplied oxygen via a pipe and after efforts to pull her out went in vain, those carrying out the rescue operation started digging. However, the tunnel they dug ended up being in the wrong direction.
In the last few hours before she was pulled up, neither food nor oxygen could be provided to her and her condition turned critical. The rescue happened just in time.
