Digital Desk: On Sunday, a six-year-old boy reportedly fell into a 300 feet deep bore well in Gadriwala village in Hoshiarpur in Punjab. The rescue operations are underway.

The minor is identified as Rithik Roshan, and he is the son of a migrant laborer.

According to reports, an army team has been called to assist with the rescue operation. Moreover, a JCB machine has been sent to dig a tunnel leading to the borewell.

Reports further claimed that the machine could barely dig 15 feet in one and a half hours, and Rithik is said to be stranded in the borewell at around 95 feet.

The incident took place at around 9 am when he was playing in a field shaft and was chased by stray dogs. A jute bag covering the borewell shaft could not support the weight of Rithik and gave in, causing him to fall into the well.

It may be mentioned that a National Disaster Response Force team has been called in, said officials.

Moreover, medical teams have also been deployed, and Oxygen has been provided to the six-year minor to keep his condition stable.

Notably, the officials have put a camera inside the borewell to monitor the boy's condition.
