A robotic team from Gujarat has been roped in to rescue an 11-year-old boy, who fell into an 80-foot deep abandoned borewell in Chhattisgarh’s Janjgir-Champa district on Friday. More than 39 hours after a speech and hearing impaired boy fell into a deep borewell, rescue operations are underway for the third consecutive day on Sunday to retrieve the victim. The robotic team is carrying out the rescue operations to save the boy.
Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said that instructions were given to a team of specialised robots in Surat to be pressed into the rescue operation. He said that a Gujarat resident, Mahesh Ahir, tweeted that his invention- a borewell rescue robot- can help save Rahul. The state government got in touch with him to get his assistance in saving the child.
