Guntur: A massive operation has been launched by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), police and the administration to rescue a two-year-old boy who fell into an open borewell at Ummadivaram village in Vinukonda mandal of Guntur district on Tuesday.
The boy, identified as Chandrasekhar, was playing near a cattle shed in the village when he accidentally fell into the borewell in the afternoon, police said. The boy’s parents are Anumulamudi Mallikarjun and Anusha. Mallikarjun is an agricultural labourer.
His mother, who was tending cattle nearby, did not notice that the boy was playing precariously close to the defunct borewell which had been left uncovered. The boy was found trapped over 15 feet down in the borewell shaft, a police official said. A crater is being dug parallel to the borewell to rescue the boy, while oxygen tubes have been lowered inside.
District Collector Kona Sasidhar has rushed to the village to oversee the rescue operation. Deputy Chief Minister Nimmakayala China Rajappa spoke to the district authorities and asked them to spare no effort to rescue the trapped child, officials said. Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas also spoke to the district medical and health officer, following which a medical team was rushed to the spot.
