New Delhi: Six-year-old Suraj, who fell into a borewell while playing at a village in Jaipur, was on Friday night pulled out after his nearly 50-hour ordeal. But he could not survive the ordeal and has been declared dead.
Army personnel, who had been called to assist, pulled out the shaft with the boy inside it and pulled him out.
Suraj fell into the 180-feet deep borewell at Mudia Ramsar near Jaipur while playing at about 1600 hrs IST on Wednesday evening.
The boy was unconscious when he was spotted in the borewell.
Rescue forces swung into action and one fire tender, a digging machine and some engineers have been working out plans to rescue the child.
Suraj was brought out of the pipe, which had to be cut open with gas cutters, and wrapped in a piece of white cloth and taken to a waiting ambulance nearby.
The pipe was sliced into five pieces and Suraj was found stuck in the last 13-feet portion.
The boy was supplied oxygen through the hole dug parallel to the borewell and his movement was monitored by a close-circuit camera.
Army and civil administration on Friday took a different approach to rescue the boy by first digging a parallel boring to facilitate movement of the rusted pipe in which the boy was lying for the last three days.
As the pipe showed upward and downward movement, the exact place of the boy's placement was measured at 93 feet. Soon, the cranes were pressed into action to lift the pipe in pieces.
When the pipe was being taken out, oxygen supply to the boy was removed and the camera detached.
As the rescue operation went on, residents of Nimeeda village prayed and conducted a special 'havan' for the well being of Suraj who belongs to a poor family.
