Madhya Pradesh : Innocent trapped in 400 feet deep borewell for 40 hours, rescue team dug 45 feet pit; Officer said – how long will be able to remove, can not say

A 6-year-old boy who fell into a borewell in Madhya Pradesh’s Betul could not be pulled out even after 40 hours. The bore is 400 feet deep. A pit is being dug parallel to the bore to retrieve the child, but the depth of the pit could not be increased much due to continuous inflow of water. A 45 feet pit has been dug parallel to the borewell. Now the work of making the tunnel will start.

Collector Amanbir Singh Bains told that the work of making tunnel will be done with cross bore machine. As far as this machine works, the tunnel will be made through the machine itself. It has been decided to install another machine so that there is no vibration of big machines in the bore. First the child will be taken to CHC Aathner. ICU will be shifted from there, but at present no response is coming from inside.

ADM Shyamendra Jaiswal told that the boy is trapped 38 feet below in the borewell. More than 125 personnel of Harda, Hoshangabad and Betul SDERF, NDRF are engaged in rescue in Mandvi village. Jaiswal told that till when innocent Tanmay will be taken out, there is no idea about it. The parents of the innocent are praying at home for his safety. The child’s schoolmates are also praying for his well-being.

The work is getting affected due to frequent filling of water in the pit. Because of the hard stones and rocks, the excavation is not progressing that much. Home Guard Commandant SR Ajmi told that a 7 to 8 feet straight tunnel would be made to reach the child. After the tunnel is made, the child will be taken out from the side of the feet. NDRF team is operating the rescue operation. There has been a discussion with the blasting expert on making the tunnel.
