Gurgaon, June 24 (IBNS): After 86 hours, rescuers led by an Army team on Sunday lifted out  five-year-old girl Mahi who fell into a 70-foot-deep borewell in a Gurgaon village near Manesar on the outskirts of New Delhi, but her health condition was not immediately known.

The girl was taken to hospital in an ambulance soon after she was lifted out but if she survived the ordeal was not known immediately.

Earlier, cutting through a hard rock, which was like a huge stumbling block to reach her, the rescuers managed to reach the girl  who fell in the borewell on Wednesday night.

Army officials engaged in the rescue operation remained tight-lipped after she was pulled out.
 
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 used too much force, they could 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 had just fallen asleep or was 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  was supplied oxygen through a pipe so that she could survive the effort.
