Hello friends
 
Gujarat Samachar, Gujarati Daily has reported one more lioness falling into well on 29th March 2007.
 
Incidence happened at village Gundaran (Gir) of Talala taluka. A adult reproductive lioness of about 7 - 8 years fell in to baricadded well of farmer Kesarbhai Lakhabhai. It was chased by a male lion. The good thing is it was rescued by prompt action of forest department.
 
But still the moral of the story is "Open wells are death traps" and something needs to be done urgently.
