After falling into an open borewell in an agricultural field at Manika village in the Janeh police station area of Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district on Friday, a 6-year-old boy passed away on Sunday following a 45-hour-long rescue operation. Despite being retrieved from the borewell, the rescue teams were unable to save his life.
Additional SP Vivek Lal Singh says, ” NDRF, police, local team, people and local administration worked hard for around 45 hours. The team worked continuously for 45 hours with all the precautions and safety measures but we couldn’t save his life.”
A day before, Additional SP, Rewa, Anil Sonkar, while speaking to ANI, said, “This borewell in which the six-year-old boy fell is 6 cm in diameter. The child fell into the borewell while playing. The locals informed the police, after which the rescue team reached the spot and launched an operation to bring him out.”
He had also mentioned that a parallel pit was being dug to safely rescue the trapped six-year-old boy.
Madhya Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Rajendra Shukla had visited the site where the boy had fallen into an open borewell and had expressed that “We hope to successfully rescue the child… The NDRF team has reached halfway… They are trying their best. The administration is monitoring this rescue operation… As told by the NDRF team, it will take 2 to 4 hours more.”
