3-Year-Old Boy Rescued Safely After 9 Hours in Bihar Borehole Incident
Patna, Bihar – In a heartstopping incident, a 3-year-old boy named Subham Kumar was successfully rescued after falling into a borehole earlier today. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) played a crucial role in the daring rescue operation that lasted for a tense 9 hours.
The incident took place in Gul village, Nalanda district, Bihar. The boy’s family resides in an area where a local farmer had dug a borewell, hoping to find water. Unfortunately, the farmer’s efforts went in vain as there was no water in the first borewell. Despite this setback, he proceeded to dig another borewell at a different location.
Unbeknownst to the farmer, he failed to close the first borewell properly, leaving it exposed. It was this uncovered borehole that Subham Kumar wandered near, leading to his unfortunate fall into its depths. When the child’s family realized he was missing, they were struck with terror upon hearing his cries emanating from the borewell.
Authorities were immediately notified, and both the police and the National Disaster Response Force swiftly arrived at the scene to commence the rescue operation. It was quickly determined that Subham Kumar was trapped approximately 30 to 40 feet below the ground.
A crucial step in ensuring the boy’s survival included providing him with oxygen through a tube while a camera was inserted into the borehole to monitor his condition. This allowed the rescuers to closely observe the child’s movements and progress. Moreover, JCP vehicles were summoned to dig a trench alongside the borewell, ensuring that no soil would collapse and further endanger Subham Kumar.
Following an arduous 9-hour ordeal, the rescue operation reached its climax as the National Disaster Response Force successfully extricated Subham Kumar from the borehole. He was then promptly transported to a nearby hospital in an ambulance provided by the NDRF.
Medical professionals at the hospital thoroughly examined the young boy, providing reassurances that he was in good health. However, as a precautious measure, Subham Kumar will continue to undergo medical treatment and observation.
The rescue operation conducted by the National Disaster Response Force showcased their unwavering dedication and expertise in handling such critical situations. Their swift action and meticulous efforts undoubtedly saved Subham Kumar’s life, resulting in widespread gratitude and appreciation from the local community.
Incidents like this serve as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to safety guidelines when it comes to boreholes and other potential hazards. Authorities continue to urge farmers and residents in Bihar to exercise caution and take necessary precautions when dealing with such potential dangers to prevent future accidents.
