A four-year-old boy in Delhi falls into an uncovered/open sewer or manhole, prompting a large multi-agency search and rescue operation. The incident is reported in outer Delhi, with the child described as being in the area of a park/manhole while playing before the fall.
Officials across outlets say teams including the NDRF and other local emergency services are deployed to locate and retrieve the child. Coverage also includes details from authorities about how the manhole/sewer was left open and that the rescue is ongoing, with responders using specialised methods/equipment to search the sewer line.
Outlets vary slightly on the reported location and emphasis. Some specify Nangli Vihar near Dass Garden Colony, while others mention Baprola. Several accounts highlight the father’s statement that the boy went near the sewer to relieve himself; other reports focus more on the scale of the response and participating agencies, listing additional teams such as Delhi Police, Delhi Fire Services, DDMA and BSF.
