Gurgaon, June 24 (IBNS): Rescuers on Sunday morning finally reached five-year-old Mahi who fell into a 70-foot-deep borewell in a Gurgaon village near Manesar more than three days ago.

Cutting through a hard rock, which was like a huge stumbling block, they managed to reach the girl but it is yet to be known in what condition is the girl who fell in the borewell on Wednesday night.

Army officials engaged in the rescue operation said the girl would be lifted out of the borewell anytime.
 
On Saturday night a Delhi Metro team was called in to assist in the rescue operations.

The Metro team scouted for a fresh route to reach Mahi after efforts to get to her through an alternate pit, which was earlier dug by rescue workers, slowed down.

Rescuers were within “millimetres” of them, but the presence of the hard rock in between had hindered their efforts to reach her.

If they use too much force, they risk injuring the child either by the machines or the mud and rocks, the officials said.

Even as Metro officials used special equipment to size up the rock, high-tech machinery brought in had failed to detect any movement from Mahi.

Doctors on standby hoped that the girl has just fallen asleep or is unconscious. A five-year-old  can survive without food and water for three days, but after that the chances become slim, they said.

The girl is being supplied oxygen through a pipe so that she can survive the effort.
