Hopes appear to be fading for the rescue of Sonu, a two-year-old boy who fell into a 150-ft deep borewell in Lehrakapura village in the district two days ago.
A race against time to save Sonu
Army and police were still working to rescue the boy, who fell into the well 48 hours ago but they do not appear anywhere close to taking him out.
Constant supply of oxygen is being maintained to the boy through a pipe, but no movement had been noticed or any sound heard from him two hours after he fell into the well, rescuers said.
"He fell while playing with his sister. My daughter came and told me that he had fallen," Sonu's father Karan Singh said.
