Periyapatna: A seven-year-old girl died after she slipped and fell into a water-filled elephant trench at Aladakatte Tribal Hamlet in the taluk yesterday morning. The deceased is Sinchana, daughter of Chandru of the tribal hamlet.
Sinchana, along with her classmates, was playing near the water-filled trench close to her house, when she accidentally fell into it. Her classmates immediately informed her parents, who rushed to the spot, lifted Sinchana from the trench and shifted her to the Government Hospital, where the doctors declared her ‘brought dead.’
