Brave Rescue: NDRF and SDRF Save 2-Year-Old Girl from Borewell in Dausa
A two-year-old girl fell into a 35-foot borewell in Dausa, Rajasthan. After 18 hours of challenging rescue operations by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), she was successfully saved and admitted to a hospital.
Rescue Operation Details
SP Ranjita Sharma praised the teams’ efforts, saying, “We are very happy that we were able to rescue the girl from the borewell after 18 hours of rescue operation. It was indeed a very hard task to accomplish, but with the help of the NDRF and SDRF teams, we were able to do it. The girl has been admitted to the nearest hospital. I would like to thank everyone who made this happen.”
Yogesh Kumar from NDRF explained, “The girl was stuck at 28 feet and a parallel approach was dug up to rescue her. We had trouble locking her in the borewell. We had approached her sandal at 21 feet and had succeeded in the first go. No compromises were made with her security. Due to the rain, the rescue operations took longer than expected. A total of 30 people from NDRF and 10 people from SDRF worked on the rescue operations.”

Earlier, Devendra Kumar, District Collector, mentioned, “We have been trying our best to rescue the girl from the borewell. We have dug both in a parallel and horizontal manner. Due to constant rain, it has been difficult to carry out the rescue operations but we have been trying our best.”
