What Happened?
The girl, named Sanno, had slipped into a 110-feet-deep under-construction borewell in the Murgiachak area of Munger on Tuesday afternoon, ANI reported.
All arrangements were made to provide oxygen to the minor girl stuck inside, Sanjeev Kumar, an official of State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), told the media.
