ppMassive efforts are on to save five-year-old Saahil, who fell into an open borewell at a village about 60 kms from Jaipur.
The boy was playing outside his house in Jagatpura village on Monday morning, when he slipped into the adjacent borewell, which belongs to his own family. It was left open after some work on Sunday.
The borewell is 270 feet deep and Saahil is lost at a depth of about 150 feet inside it. A team of doctors has put in an oxygen pipe to facilitate the boy's breathing. He can survive another 24 hours with the help of this supply.
Meanwhile, the administration is trying to dig a parallel pit next to the borewell to reach and rescue the trapped child. 6 JCB machines and several rescue workers have been deployed.
The rescue work is likely to go on through the night.
This is not the first case of a child falling into an uncovered borewell in the country. In Rajasthan itself, four-year-old Anju was rescued in June 2009, nearly 20 hours after she fell into a borewell in Dausa district.
