A seven-year-old girl slipped into a 26-foot borewell in Gorhandi village and died in the second such incident in Gaya district since May last year.

Monu Kumari slipped into the borewell in a field belonging to Umesh Yadav at Bihta panchayat of Khisersarai block. Her body was extricated after nearly seven hours but she had died by then.

Dilip Yadav, primary agriculture credit society president at Bihta panchayat, who provided his earthmover for the rescue operation, said Monu, who was playing nearby, slipped into the borewell because her father, Ramashish Yadav, had pulled the pipe out to remove sand from it.

Those involved in the operation could hear Monu's cries for help till around 3pm. Water overflowed into the borewell, after all nearby pump sets stopped operations, leading to the girl's death, Dilip said. There was just Dilip's earthmover to help out. No disaster recovery team could reach the site.
