Army rescued small girl from 45 ft. deep pit MIL/Agencies/DT, Mar 27, 2008. IR Summary Lucknow, UP, India: March 27, 2008 –IR Summary- Vandana,a small child of Two-and-a-half-year-old, who had fallen into a 45 feet deep pit in Tehra village, about 40 km from Agra, created a storm into the hearts of millions of Indians, who prayed for her rescue safely and ultimately, by God's grace, she was rescued. The army was called to help the administration to rescue the child. Who first dropped several oxygen tubes into the well. The positive sign of the girl being alive was that she was crying and calling out for her mother, which gave rescue workers and villagers hope. All day, her father shouted "Vandana ho" into the face of the well to keep her calm. In between her cries for help, the child asked for food. Juice, tea and biscuits were dropped into the well. The army dug a parallel borewell and made a five-foot tunnel connecting it to the pit where the girl was trapped. "I think it is just a matter of time before the child can be pulled out to safety," said Agra commissioner S. Meena, before she was rescued around 9.30pm. The accident has again brought to the fore the dangers posed by borewells, which have turned into death traps for children. In 2006, a massive operation was launched to rescue five-year-old Prince, a Haryana boy, who too had fallen into a borewell. He was saved, but a three-year-old in Rajasthan died in May last year after falling into a pit.
