TIRUCHIRAPPALLI: Efforts are being made to rescue a two-year-old boy who fell in a borewell in Nadukattupatti of Tiruchirappalli district on Friday.
The infant named Sujith Wilson fell into the borewell while he was playing near his house at 5:30 pm.
The boy fell into the borewell at about 5:30 pm on Friday and got stuck at 35 feet. Later at night, he went further down the tube and got stuck at about 70-feet. The boy has now slipped to 100 feet.
The rescue teams have dug the land adjacent to the borewell, using an earthmover, to create a tunnel to reach Sujith. However, the fire service team stopped drilling the land due to rock terrains below 10 feet.
At present, the medical team is providing oxygen supply to the boy from outside the borewell, where rescue operations are still underway.
