A four-year-old boy falls into an uncovered borewell about 220 feet deep in Ambala district, Haryana, prompting a multi-agency rescue operation. The child, identified in reports as Nirbhay (also spelled Nirvair Singh/Nirvair Singh in one account), is said to be from Dhanaura/Dhanyoda village. Several sources say he is near a family member’s agricultural field during the morning hours, when paddy transplantation is underway and he is playing around the area. Reports state that the borewell is abandoned and open, and that the boy slips and falls while throwing soil or wanders away while an adult works. The incident occurs around 6:30 am to about 7 am, depending on the outlet. After initial attempts by family members and local residents fail to extract the child, authorities are alerted and rescue teams reach the site. The rescue effort includes the police and district administration, along with SDRF and NDRF personnel and the Army, which later takes charge. Heavy machinery is deployed as rescuers work to safely remove the child while family members and villagers wait at the location.
