Girl falls into well while drawing water, hurt

THANE: A 14-year-old girl from the tribal village of Kinniste, in the drought-hit Mokhada taluka, suffered severe injuries on her head after she fell into a well while trying to draw water on Saturday. The dried-up well had been filled up with water from a tanker.
Roshna Madhukar Shinde, a Class VIII student , reportedly lost her balance while she was stretching hard to draw water from the well.
Shinde is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Khodala town and her condition is said to be stable.
“Located on a hilltop, Kinniste village is very close to the middle Vaitarna project. However, villagers have been facing an acute water scarcity. The district administration has failed to provide adequate water tankers. A tanker came to Kinniste on Saturday after four to five days. Shinde arrived and was struggling to get water,’’ said Santosh Chothe, a resident of Mokhada.
Villagers pulled the girl out and took her to a hospital.
