TIRUNELVELI: A three-year-old boy fell into a 400-foot deep unused borewell in Tirunelveli on Monday.

The district administration, police and fire and rescue services personnel began efforts to rescue the baby on a war footing.

Police said that the boy, Harshan (3), had accompanied his father, Ganesan, a farmer from Kuthalaperi near Sankarankoil, to their farm when he slipped and fell into the pit.

The incident comes a week after a child fell into a borewell at Kallakurichi in Villupuram district and died.

Police said that Ganesan had dug the borewell few months ago but failed to cover the pit. He had left Harshan to play and was busy with farming activities when the boy fell into the pit that was barely half foot wide.

Hearing the cries of Harshan, Ganesan and farm workers rushed to the spot and attempted to rescue him. When the attempts turned futile, they informed fire and rescue services personnel. Fire service squad visited the place and started digging a parallel pit to rescue the boy.

"The boy is stuck at a depth of ten feet. He is responding to us now,'' said a police officer. The rescue team dropped a rope into the pit hoping that the boy would cling to it, but the boy could not hold it apparently due to draining of his strength. He is being given water to drink," police said.

A camera had been inserted into the pit to monitor the boy and oxygen was being pumped in with a cylinder to prevent suffocation, said police.
