Around three-year-old Vandana, who was brought out from the well in the operation by the army and the district authorities, was "hungry and was given milk and biscuits," N C Prajapati, one of the doctors attending on her at S N Medical College, said.
The X-ray reports of the girl, who had fallen into the the pit while playing with her father in Hulaspura village in Agra district on Tuesday evening, were "normal".
"Vandana's condition has improved since last night. She is suffering from exhaustion but she is otherwise alright. She was tired and slept for around four hours....Vandana has few cuts and bruises. Her left ancle is swollen. She had high fever last night," the doctor said, adding that the child would be in hospital for four to five days.
Agra District Magistrate Mukesh Kumar Meshram said that an inquiry would be instituted into how the unused borewell was left unfilled.
Personnel from the 509 army base workshop here had worked for 20 hours to bring out the girl after the district authorities did not succeed in pulling her out. After being rescued, she was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, parked at the site.

heartfully bowing to indian military for saving the life of a kid.it is only the defence and military people who could do such miracles and save lives at the right instance.
We see innumerable cases of children being sucked into open manholes and bodies not recovered yet civic authorities and politicians remain unscathed - life is dead cheap in Bharath
I was on a business trip in SIN when I saw this story unfolded, it broke my heart to see and hear the child's cry. I can not imagine what her mother/father was feeling. I stayed up and prayed to finally see her taken out. Its a miricle, this should never happen again. bless the army for their persitent and bravery.
