Jaipur, Dec 27 (IANS) Despite all rescue efforts, Chetna, a 3-year-old girl, remains trapped in a borewell in Kotputli at a depth of 120 feet for 96 hours without food or water. Efforts to rescue her have stretched into the fifth day, with heavy rain and logistical challenges hindering progress.
A parallel pit approximately 170 feet deep has been dug using a piling machine. As of 9:30 a.m., a 162-foot-long pipe has been installed in the pit, with plans to add an additional 8-foot section.
Once complete, “rat miners” are set to descend through the pipe to dig a 20-foot horizontal tunnel connecting the pit to the borewell.
The operation has faced repeated setbacks due to rain and the presence of stone layers obstructing the excavation, said Kotputli-Baharod district collector Kalpana Aggarwal who acknowledged these difficulties, noting that the unpredictable conditions have complicated rescue efforts.
Chetna fell into a 700-foot borewell on Monday. Initial attempts to rescue her using improvised tools succeeded in raising her by 30 feet but failed to extract her completely.
For the past three days, she has remained at 120 feet, showing no signs of movement, while officials remain silent about her condition.
Efforts to rescue her with modern equipment began on December 24 after earlier methods proved ineffective.
However, progress has been slow, and the family has expressed frustration with delays and alleged negligence by authorities.
Meanwhile, Chetna’s mother has fallen unconscious due to stress, and other family members are in distress.
Meanwhile, the rescue teams said that they hope the operation will conclude successfully soon, despite challenges.
Just two weeks ago, a five-year-old boy fell into a borewell in Dausa district of Rajasthan and the rescue operation lasted over 55 hours. However, the boy had lost the battle for life by that time he was taken out.
