11 yr old boy rescued after spending 104 hours with a snake in a borewell in Chhattisgarh
As the state of Chhattisgarh breathed a sigh of relief with the rescue of an 11-year-old kid from a borewell after more than 100 hours, chief minister Bhupesh Baghel, who had been following the situation since Friday, tweeted compliments for the boy late Tuesday night. Baghel tweeted, “Humara baccha Bahadur hai (Our son is brave)” after Rahul Sahu was stuck in a borewell with a snake for 104 hours, according to Baghel.
“For 104 hours, he was accompanied by a snake and a frog. The entire state of Chhattisgarh is celebrating today, and we all hope he will be released from the hospital soon. Once again, congratulations and thank you to everyone who was a part of this operation “Baghel posted a video of himself being briefed on the details on Twitter.
The rescue operation involved around 500 people, including members of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Army, and local police.
On Friday, the 11-year-old was playing near his home when he fell into the borewell. On Friday evening, a 70-foot pit parallel to the borewell was reportedly built, with a 15-foot tunnel connecting the pit and the borewell. He was immediately taken to the hospital after his rescue.
