The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team reached the scene after a 3-year-old child fell into a borewell in Kul village in Bihar's Nalanda on Sunday. The child has been identified as Shivam Kumar, according to officials.

The child who was trapped inside a borewell has been reported to be stable. According to news agency ANI, Dr Prashant Gaurav from the Paediatrics Department provided insights into the child's condition, stating that they have checked the vitals and the medical team is diligently maintaining oxygen saturation levels required for recovery. 

According to the information, a farmer dug the borewell but failed to close it, resulting in a tragic incident. The children who were playing with Shivam informed his parents, and the rescue operation began.

The rescue operation was assisted by Nalin Maurya, Vice President of Nagar Panchayat Nalanda.

"This borewell was made by the farmer for boring," Nalin Maurya told ANI. "But boring didn't work here, so they moved on to another location, and this borewell was still open," he said. 

Circle Officer Shambhu Mandal stated earlier in the day that the child is still alive and that they can hear his voice.

"We received word that a child had fallen into a borewell...We are doing everything we can to save the child. "The child is still alive, and we can hear his voice," he explained.

JCB machines were dispatched to provide oxygen and extract the child from the borehole.

In charge of the police station Dinesh Kumar Singh stated that efforts were made to safely rescue the child. The incident has also been reported to the senior officer. Many Parsottam officials arrived at the scene after learning about the incident.
