Trapped For Two Days In Borewell, One-Year-Old Hisar Child Rescued Successfully

IANS, 22 Mar, 2019 08:26 PM

    The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), district authorities and the Army on Friday evening ‘successfully rescued’ the one-year-old boy who had fallen into a borewell at Balsamand village of this district on Wednesday.


    A team of doctors present on the spot examined the child, Nadeem Khan, and also provided pre-hospital treatment. Later, he was shifted to hospital for advance medical care. The condition of the child is stable.


    Earlier, the team dug a 2x2 tunnel connecting the borewell.


    The officials had provided oxygen and food items in the borehole. There was no information about the condition of the child since Thursday evening.


    Two teams of the NDRF had been called in on Wednesday night for rescuing the kid. Earlier, a night-vision camera was dropped in the borehole to keep a constant watch on the child who took a sound sleep.


    The rescue team had on Thursday tried to pull the child with the help of a net. Though the child was trapped in the net, he got stuck after coming out to 4-5 feet and the rescue team had to abort the plan.


    Around 30 personnel of the NDRF and an equal number of personnel of the Army and the local authorities were involved in the operation.
