Singrauli, July 30: A three-year-old toddler in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh tragically slipped into a 250-feet borewell while playing in a field on Monday, July 29. Upon being informed, officials promptly launched a rescue operation. According to PTI, the girl died after an extensive rescue operation. According to reports, she was stuck at 25 feet.

Singrauli SP Nivedita Gupta told PTI that Soumya Shah was playing with a goat in her family's cornfield. The field contained an 8–9-year-old borewell that had been covered. The family had been ploughing and farming on that field each year. However, due to rainwater, the hole became deeper and eventually collapsed, causing the girl to fall into it.
