Boy falls Into Borewell, rescued

A 19-MONTH-OLD boy, who had fallen into an open borewell in Ekta Nagar slums, Bhandewadi in Kalamna, was rescued by police with the assistance of local residents on Thursday evening.

Around 6.45 pm, the boy, Prathamesh Deepak Gajbhiye, a resident of Ekta Nagar, slipped at a depth of 15 feet inside the borewell while playing near it. Some residents noticed the incident and raised an alarm. Some residents made futile efforts to pull the boy out. An alert resident informed Police Control Room about the incident. Three Beat Marshals of Kalamna Police Station, who were patrolling the streets, rushed to the spot after receiving information on their walkie talkies. The Beat Marshals dispersed the crowd gathered near the borewell. They cordoned off  the area near the borewell to ensure that the boy was not hurt if any boulder rolled into the borewell. 

Senior Inspector Sunil Bonde, in-charge of Kalamna Police Station and his staff arrived.  After assessing the overall situation, Inspector Bonde, with the assistance Corporator Purshottam Hazare and former Corporator Devendra Meher, quickly arranged an earth moving machine. Soon, a JCB machine was pressed into service. The JCB operator dug up a pit parallel to the borewell to reach the boy.  Within 45 minutes, Prathamesh was pulled out of the borewell. Prathamesh was rushed to the Kubde Hospital. After examining Prathamesh, doctors told police the boy was hale and hearty. Except minor bruises, there were no injury on his body. 
Residents of Ekta Nagar and social workers congratulated Kalamna Police for their quick action in rescuing the boy from the borewell. Senior Inspector Bonde told ‘The Hitavada’ that Prathamesh’s father is a driver and mother a home maker. He has two brothers and a sister, he added.
