In India, 2-year-old Surjeet fell into a 30-foot-deep boring
hole dug for water while he was playing outside the house, which is still
undergoing rescue operation.
According to Indian media, 2-year-old Surjeet was playing
outside the house with other children in Tamil Nadu that suddenly fell into a
30-foot-deep hole; this boring hole was dug seven years ago to drain
underground water but disappeared. Yet it was not full.
The fire brigade and rescue service began rescue work and
threw a tube to provide oxygen for the baby to breathe while digging nearby
with heavy machinery to reach the baby, however en route to a large rock. The
excavation had to stop.
Initial efforts to rescue the child have also called for
National Disaster Management personnel, but despite 42 hours, the baby has not
been removed.
Politicians and showbiz figures have urged the public to
pray for the safe return of the child.
