The rescue teams have captured the girl’s movements through a camera and an oxygen pipe was lowered into the borewell to supply oxygen.
Yesterday, Industry Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore spoke to the officers and teams involved in the rescue operations instructed them to expedite the rescue.
“We are trying to reach the girl but due to a lot of soil around her we have not been able to reach her yet. We are trying our best,” said SI SDRF, Ravi Kumar while updating about the operations.
In a similar incident two weeks ago, a five-year-old boy had died after falling into a borewell in the Dausa district. The rescue operation lasted over 55 hour.
