Bangalore: Search for the nine-year-old girl who slipped into an uncovered drain in Bangalore on Monday has reached Madiwala lake where the storm water drain ultimately culminates.
An eight-member team of Natural Disaster Response Force will look for the girl in the lake. Massive rescue operations have been on to locate the girl.
Nine-year-old Geetha was walking on a pavement with her aunt in South East Bangalore when she slipped and fell through a gap on the concrete slap covering a drain. Heavy rains in the area had caused water logging and the child did not see the gaping hole.
This is not the first such incident in Bangalore. On May 31, 2009 a six-year-old boy fell into an uncovered drain flooded with rain water at Lingarajapuram. His body could not be located. The same year in September, an 18-month-old boy fell in a drain near Madiwala. In May 2011 again, a 12-year-old boy fell into a storm water drain near Mysore Road.
