According to reports, lack of expertise and technical snags were blamed for the delay in the massive rescue operation. The boy fell into the narrow and deep borewell on the evening of June 6. To reach the bottom of the borewell that has a nine-inch diameter, the newly-laid 36-inch-diameter parallel shaft was used to make passage to the child who was stuck at a depth of 115 feet. Supply of oxygen inside the well is being provided and a camera is being used to monitor the child's condition.
