3-Year-Old Rescued After 10 Days in Rajasthan Borewell Dies in Hospital

Chetna, trapped in a 150-foot borewell, was rescued after a prolonged operation but succumbed to her condition shortly after.

Chetna, a three-year-old girl, fell into a 150-foot borewell on December 23 while playing on her family's farm in Rajasthan's Kotputli-Behror district.
The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) led a 10-day rescue operation, facing challenges such as hard rock formations and inclement weather.
Rescue teams attempted various methods, including digging a parallel tunnel, but delays and complications prolonged the effort.
Chetna was retrieved in an unconscious state and rushed to a hospital, where she was declared dead shortly after arrival.
Family members and local officials criticized the administration for delays in the rescue operation, raising questions about preparedness and response time.
