Four-Year-Old Boy Falls Into 220-Foot Borewell in Ambala; Rescue Operation UnderwayPreviousNext

A four-year-old boy named Nirbhay Singh fell into an open borewell approximately 220 feet deep in Dhanaura village, Ambala district, Haryana, on Tuesday morning. The incident occurred around 6:30-7 am while he was playing near agricultural fields with his family. A multi-agency rescue operation involving the National Disaster Response Force, State Disaster Response Force, Indian Army, local police, and district officials is ongoing. Rescue efforts are complicated by the borewell's depth, narrow diameter, and water accumulation inside.
