Nine-Year-Old Boy Rescued After Falling into Borewell in Rajasthan's Alwar
A nine-year-old boy named Bhanu fell into an abandoned borewell while chasing a kite in Butoli village, Alwar district, Rajasthan. Trapped at a depth of about 40 to 55 feet, rescue teams including police, SDRF, and NDRF used JCB machines to dig a parallel tunnel over nearly six hours. Oxygen and water were supplied to Bhanu during the operation. He was safely rescued late Monday night and taken to a hospital for medical examination. The borewell had been covered but was uncovered due to shifting stones, posing a hidden danger.
