The rescue operation was on air on social media networks for the whole day. Thousands of people shared the tragic incident and made an appeal to the concerned authorities to ensure the unhurt recovery of the minor boy.
“Our lives have no value before rulers”, Abdul Hadi, the father of the minor boy cried. Hadi is also disabled and cannot walk rather moves on a wheel-chair.
The minor boy was almost 200 feet deep inside the well.
