Chhattisgarh boy Rahul Sahu rescued from borewell pit after 104 hours

On Day 5 and after 104 hour-long operations, Chhattisgarh's 11-year-old boy Rahul Sahu was finally rescued from the borewell pit he fell into last Friday. 

Sahu had fallen into the unused 80-feet-deep borewell, located in the backyard of his house in Janjgir Champa district's Pihrid village in Malkharoda development block, around 2 pm on Friday while playing.

Over 500 personnel, including officials of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Army, local police, and the administration, were involved in the massive rescue operation that was underway since Friday evening.

He was stuck at the depth of around 60 feet and a pipeline was installed for the oxygen supply.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel tweeted, ..with everyone's prayers and relentless and dedicated efforts of the rescue team, Rahul Sahu has been evacuated safely.

I wish that he recovers completely as soon as possible. Television visuals showed the boy being taken on a stretcher.
