The operation that commenced on Friday afternoon at 12.30 pm continued till early this morning. The child was pulled out after more than 15 hours. She was immediately shifted to Amreli Civil Hospital where she was declared brought-dead by doctors. 

Earlier on Friday, Union Minister of State Praful Pansheriya requested people of the state inform the government about open bore wells.  

Speaking with ANI, Pansheriya said, ‘I request everyone in Gujarat that if you can't close the bore wells, please inform us. If you can't do it, please drop us a message or send us a letter,’ the minister added.

‘Four months back, a similar incident happened in Dwarka. At that time, I appealed to the teachers and we closed around 35-40 bore wells. The chief minister has also issued a letter regarding open bore wells,’ he added.   

Notably, a similar incident also occurred in Rajasthan's Alwar district where a five-year-old child fell into a 40-foot deep bore well in Kanwada village in the Laxmangarh area.  

The child was rescued safely. 

Again, on April 14, a six-year-old boy fell into an open bore well in an agricultural field at Manika village in the Janeh police station area of Madhya Pradesh's Rewa district. 

The boy was taken out after a 45-hour-long rescue operation but couldn't save his life.
