New Delhi: A child fell into a 40-foot-deep borewell at a Delhi Jal Board water treatment plant in Keshopur Mandi area in the early hours of Sunday.
Teams from the Delhi Fire Service (DFS), National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and Delhi Police have launched an operation to rescue the child by digging a borewell parallel to it, according to reports.
Police officials said a team was rushed to the spot soon after information about the incident was received around 1 am. “A PCR call was received at Vikaspuri police station at night informing that a person had fallen into the borewell at the Keshopur (Delhi) Jal Board office. The local police as well as fire brigade teams reached the spot. An NDRF team has also been called to the spot. Efforts are being made to take the person out safely,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Vichitra Veer was quoted as saying by PTI.
The identity of the child, who has fallen into the borewell, is yet to be ascertained.
“We will soon mount a rescue operation by digging a borewell parallel to the one where the child fell. However, it could be a long-drawn operation,” Inspector-in-Charge of the NDRF team Veer Pratap Singh told ANI.
