The body of two-year-old Sonu was pulled out by rescue workers, four days after he fell into a 150-foot deep borewell at Shamsabad town.Army and paramilitary personnel joined locals in digging a parallel tunnel soon after the incident on Thursday at Lehrakapura but the rescue work was hampered by frequent mudslides due to the soggy nature of the soil as the site was located near a pond.The district administration has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident. It has placed under suspension two officials of the Uttar Pradesh Jal Nigam for negligence as they allegedly left the borewell uncovered.“The President has been very concerned about such incidents happening frequently. She has instructed all the Ministries concerned to ensure that basic minimum standards of safety are adhered to and to inform their respective field formations to ensure their strict compliance,” said a Rashtrapathi Bhavan aide.
