A country which boasts of being Digital India, doesn't have the technology to save a life stuck in a borewell? Questions Twitterati
How is a country called, "Digital India" when no technology helps in saving a toddler's life who got stuck in a borewell for the past 80 hrz? Is technology growth meant only for phones?

An urge to close all abandoned borewell and potholes immediately:
#RIPSujith This shouldn't happen to any other child. No child deserves such agony, torture and helplessness. Please. Please close any potholes, borewells which are left unattended. Let this child be a painful reminder of what needs to be done. #RIPSujith #sorrysujith

In the wee hours of Sunday, the rescue workers attempted to bring out the infant using the suction method -- which is used in bringing a newborn baby out of the womb. The borewell in which the child was stuck had only a four-inch diameter, which severely hindered the rescue operations.
Sujith Wilson was playing near the abandoned borewell on Friday evening when he fell inside. The rescue operation was slow because of rocky terrain and complex procedures, including drilling a parallel tunnel to reach the boy and allowing for the passage of oxygen to enable him to breathe in the claustrophobic environment.
