A nine‑year‑old girl fell into an open drain in Ahmedabad, and rescue teams, including BSF personnel, are working to retrieve her.
Earlier today, a nine‑year‑old girl slipped into an open drainage channel in a residential area of Ahmedabad. The incident prompted a rapid response from local police and emergency services. Due to the depth and narrowness of the drain, specialized rescue equipment was required, leading to the deployment of Border Security Force (BSF) personnel trained in confined‑space rescue. Rescue operations are ongoing; authorities have not yet confirmed the girl's condition. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of open drains in urban areas.
