An incident to learn from..

The whole nation is filled wid sorrow after the death of Mahi. A girl of four years, Mahi had accidentally fallen into a borewell which was 70 metre deep having a diameter of 6 m. It was late at night around 11 wen the incident took place. After cuming to knw of the incident, Mahi's parents called the police immediately.. Bt they arrived only at 12:30. Delay was caused still more after the police failed to totally understand the problem and started planning only in the morning.. Further disruptions made the digging to start in the evening.. Mahi was buried for three days in the borewell widout food or water that too in withering 44 degrees Celsius heat. Finally after an attempt of 80 hrs.. Mahi was finally taken out bt she was declared dead.. It has been declared by the doctors that she had died within 5-6 hours of the fall.. There were no injury marks on her body and she died due to suffocation.
A case has been filed against the absconding landowner who dug the borewell and left if uncovered.. Bt how is it going to help? Is giving a punishment to the landowner going to help in anyway to bring back Mahi's life? The question that arises is that how come the people n the government both did not learn lesson after the incident of Prince falling into a similar kind of borewell.. How cum we never even thought about the same consequence that could occur? Our carelessness and our indifference towards the previous incident played a major role in the death of a four year old. No happiness can even repay back the death of Mahi.. After this incident are we not inspired to do better ??
Even we could not help her.. we can atleast hold a minute of silence for Mahi.. May her soul rest in peace..
