A tragic incident unfolded in Rajasthan's Jhalawar district as a 5-year-old boy, Prahalad, accidentally fell into a 32 feet deep borewell. The incident happened on a Sunday afternoon while the child was playing in an agricultural field.

Authorities swiftly responded to the emergency with the NDRF and SDRF teams arriving on-site to undertake the rescue operation. As Prahalad remained stuck at 32 feet depth, unconscious, officials coordinated efforts to extract him safely using local machinery. The borewell had been dug just days prior with plans to close it since it showed no water outflow.

A medical team is stationed at the site, supplying oxygen through pipes to ensure Prahalad's survival during the critical rescue effort. The use of four JCB machines has been instrumental in the rescue, drawing concern and hope from the community as they await the boy's recovery.
