A two-and-a-half year old girl, who had fallen into a bore well in Gujarat's Surendranagar District yesterday, has died during the treatment after being rescued.
The girl fell in the 300 feet deep bore well in Juna Ghanshyamgadh village in Dhrangadhra taluka at around 7 p.m. yesterday evening.
The moment the parents of the ill-fated child came to know of it, they informed the village chief, who in-turn sought the help of district administration.
Soon, a team comprising of National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) personnel, police and fire department officials rushed to the spot and began the rescue operations using CCTV cameras, oxygen cylinders and ropes.
After five-hour long relentless efforts the child was retrieved, but she breathed her last while the doctors were trying to resuscitate her.
