Tehra (Agra): Two-year-old Vandana was rescued from a 45-feet deep borewell in Tehra village of Agra district of Uttar Pradesh after a 27-hour long ordeal on Wednesday night.

Now she is back in the protective arms of her mother and is recovering in the Intensive Care Unit of Agra's SN Medical College.

Doctors attending Vandana say she is in good health, except for a minor infection.

"I just checked her sometime back and she is better now. She asked for sweets and we have given her some jalebis," Dr NC Prajapati, Principal, SN Medical College, says.

Less than a day after her rescue the crowds and machines have been replaced by a tired silence and life is slowly coming back to normal in the village but some concerns remain.

Vandana survived to tell the world about her miraculous escape but others might not be so lucky, especially because Tehra village has not one but numerous holes of the kind she fell into.

"This frequently happens around our village. The administration must do something about it and help prevent such incidents," a villager, Prem Singh, says.

No one has been pulled up for the negligence as yet but the administration has come down heavily on any oversight in this regard as the villagers family is waiting for the child to return home.
