RAIPUR,JUNE 14: The rescue operation for Rahul Sahu trapped in a 60-feet deep borewell continues with the administration saying that they will be able to rescue the child.

Eleven-year-old Rahul Sahu is trapped in a 60-ft deep borewell in Pihrid village of Malkharoda block.

Chattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has been continuously monitoring the situation, said the district administration.

“The rescue operation is underway for 80 hours but very soon we will be able to rescue Rahul. His health condition is better now. CM Bhupesh Baghel is continuously monitoring the situation via video call,” said Collector Janjgir, Jitendra Shukla.

Around 150 officials have been deployed for the rescue operation. “The rescue operation is very critical. This has become a mission for us now, around 150 officials are deployed here,” informed Superintendent of Police (SP) Janjgir, Vijay Agarwal

Earlier on Sunday, Baghel had asked the Collector about Rahul’s health condition. The Chief Minister also spoke to his family members of Rahul and consoled them, as per an official statement. He asked Rahul’s family to hold on to faith, patience, and prayers, as the administration does its best to bring Rahul back home safe and sound.
