Fire Officer Reports No Movement in Trapped Toddler Rescue Effort

Fire Officer H.C. Gadhvi reported a concerning update in the ongoing rescue operation for the one-and-a-half-year-old girl trapped in a borewell in Amreli’s Suragpur village. For the past hour, there has been no movement from the child, and only her nose and eyes are partially visible, covered by a layer of soil approximately four inches thick. 

Currently, the rescue team is trying to grasp the child by her head and forehead, but both her arms are positioned downward, making it difficult to secure a hold without the cable slipping.
