The incident took place in Pihrid village of Malkharoda development block last week on Friday. Sahu fell into this deep borewell located in the backyard of his residence while he was playing.</p>

To ensure his well-being a pipeline was installed for oxygen supply. The child, according to the Administration, was “breathing but not showing clear movement”.</p>
