A five-year-old boy who fell into a 150-feet-deep borewell in Rajasthan's Dausa passed away after he was rescued after an over 55-hour-long operation, an official said. TV news channels at the scene reported that the boy passed away in the hospital.
He was taken to a hospital in an ambulance in an unconscious state.
The boy, Aryan, fell in the borewell while playing in a field in Kalikhad village around 3 pm on Monday and the rescue operation began an hour later.
A parallel pit was dug using drilling machines to reach the child.
National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel said the operation faced myriad challenges, including the estimated water level of around 160 feet.
They said the difficulty of capturing the boy's movements on camera due to the steam underground and safety concerns for the rescue staff were also among the operations' challenges.
