MANGALURU, December 23, 2014 :: 12-year-old girl dies after falling into a well
A 12-year-old girl died after falling into an abandoned well in Bejai on Tuesday. The fire and emergency services personnel faced difficulty while entering the well to bring out the body as it was filled with toxic gases.
Savita (12) was playing with her friends in the area of an abandoned house adjoining the house where she lived.
According to Beeresh (12), who was among the children playing there, Savita was seen going towards the well. “We ran towards the well hearing her call of rescue. I saw her holding on to a stick in the well. She then fell further down into the water”, said Beeresh.
Beeresh and his friends called people for help, who immediately called the Police and Fire and Emergency Services.
The Fire and Emergency Services personnel had a tough time searching for Savita who was said to be on the bed of the well that was 60-foot below. The water that was around 10-foot high, was toxic as it was filled with waste material. The body was removed around 3 p.m.
Savita is the elder daughter of labourers Parasappa R. Koti and Lingamma, from Lingapur village of Bagalakote District. Savita’s father had been to a temple in Kadri while her mother had been to work at a construction site at the time of accident, the police said.

Siren-signal link to give ambulances right of way
Dec 19, 2014
The operation of emergency service vehicles in and around Bengaluru is all set to be smoother, thanks to tech-savvy traffic police. With a view to facilitate the swift movement of ambulances and fire brigade vehicles, the state government will synchronise traffic signals at several busy junctions of the city with the siren sound of these vehicles.
When the vehicles, fitted with the siren synchronisation technology, approach the designated junctions, the traffic signals open to give right of way to the ambulances and fire service vehicles, facilitating their uninterrupted movement. Announcing this in the Council, Home minister KJ George said, "The Bengaluru City Traffic Police have identified 300 busy traffic junctions in various parts of the city for the project. To begin with, we are considering implementing the technology in 80 ambulance vehicles and 90 fire brigade vehicles."
The government will implement the technology under its ambitious B-TRAC programme on a pilot basis in Bengaluru. Subsequently, the home department is considering extending the project to other cities as well, according to the reply given by the state government to Congress MLC R Dharmasena.
Sources in the home department said the increasing traffic had made it tough for ambulances and fire service vehicles. "There were even instances when ambulances with patients and fire services tending to distress call were caught in traffic jams for hours," said a senior official.
When the attention was drawn towards the busy junctions where cameras and signals have turned defunct, George replied, "Some the police stations in Bengaluru have reported about the defunct cameras and signal lights in their jurisdiction. We have already directed officials to outsource the maintenance of these signals and cameras. In case those signal panels are damaged beyond repair, they will soon be replaced with new ones to facilitate the implementation of the latest technology."
