A young boy trapped in a 200-foot-deep borewell in Maharashtra's Pune district was rescued on Thursday after an 16-hour-long operation involving police and disaster response personnel.
A crowd looked on as National Disaster Response Force and police officials carried Ravi Pandit Bhill, 6, who was stuck at a depth of 10 feet.
He was playing near the borewell last evening while his father, a labourer, was busy with road construction work, and he fell in at around 4.45 pm, the police said.
The borewell is in Thorandale, a village in Ambegaon tehsil.
Here are pictures from last evening.
Similar accidents have been happened in recent months across India.
Successful rescue efforts have been reported in Tamil NaduBihar and Madhya Pradesh, but one incident in Gujarat ended in tragedy -- a young boy who fell into a borewell in Sabarkantha died before he could be saved.
