2-year-old boy fell into a 25-feet deep borewell in Nadukattupatti of Tiruchirappalli district on Friday. Even after 15 hours of the incident, rescue operation for the 2 year old Sujith Wilson is still on. In a set back to the rescue mission, Sujith who was at a 30 meter depth initially has now fallen further down to a distance of 70 meters.
Soon after receiving the information, rescue teams rushed the spot and first 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.
Health Minister Vijayabaskar, tourism minister Vallamandi Natrajan and minority and welfare minister Valarmathi are still at the spot. They are directing the authorities concerned to try their best and rescue Sujith at earliest.
Speaking to the media at the location Health Minister Vijayabaskar said, "Expert teams have come from neighbouring districts to help in the rescue operation. He also said that the child's breathing could be heard from a micro camera that was sent 60 feet deep to monitor the situation."
The child fell into the deep well around 5 pm last evening while playing outside his residence. The last 15 hours has been critical with the Tamil Nadu government putting its best effort to bring the child out of the deep well.
At present, the medical team is providing oxygen supply to the boy from outside the borewell, where rescue operations are still underway.
In light of the situation, #SaveSujith was trending on social media.
