Efforts are actively underway to rescue her.
Excavation activities are being conducted nearby with the assistance of a JCB, while a pipe is supplying oxygen to the girl, as stated by an official.
The rescue team has been monitoring the girl's movements through a camera that has been lowered into the borewell, capturing her cries as well.
The State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) is collaborating with the personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) to facilitate the rescue.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon at approximately 1:50 p.m. when the young girl, Chetna Chaudhary, the daughter of Bhupendra Chaudhary, was playing outside her home and accidentally slipped into the borewell.
Upon hearing her cries, her family quickly contacted the police. A team of police and local administration officials promptly arrived at the scene.
