Girl, 9, Falls Into 20-Foot-Deep Drain In Ahmedabad, Rescue Ops Underway
The girl, who was walking a short distance behind her mother, suddenly fell into the open drain, triggering panic at the spot.
A nine-year-old girl tragically fell into a 20-foot-deep drain on Narol-Pirana Road in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, according to an official. The incident occurred on Saturday when the girl's mother paid the fare after exiting from a rickshaw. The girl, who was walking behind her mother, suddenly tumbled into the open drain, causing panic in the vicinity.
Police and fire brigade teams were promptly dispatched to the location after receiving information about the incident. Despite ongoing efforts, the girl has not been located yet. Maninagar Fire Station Officer Pravin Singh Solanki informed that the fire brigade received a call at approximately 4 PM, following which teams arrived at the scene and initiated the search operation.
They have conducted thorough searches, including inspecting the pumping station but have not yet found any leads. Solanki further revealed that Border Security Force (BSF) personnel would be deployed to evaluate the water depth and conditions within the drain, and if current allows, they plan to open the sewer manhole covers to inspect the route leading up to the pumping station.
The rescue operation is actively underway, with teams diligently searching the drain and the surrounding area in hopes of locating the missing girl.
