A two-and-a-half-year-old boy fell into an open borewell in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain district on Thursday evening, triggering a large-scale rescue operation.
The incident occurred around 8 pm in Jhalaria village under Badnagar tehsil, according to news agency PTI.
A rescue operation using half a dozen Pocklain and JCB machines has been launched, with the SDRF team digging a parallel pit alongside the borewell.
Oxygen is being supplied into the borewell, and a camera has been lowered to monitor the child and aid rescue efforts.
According to officials, the child is believed to be trapped at a depth of around 70 feet.
