The bore wells those dug for
water source had become not only life threatening but almost embrace to death,
has rise in toll. In last ten days, three kids were fell into the bore wells
across the state and only one was able to rescued alive. At the current state
of drought and water scarcity, bore wells were the only hope of farmers in
spite of lack of rain and groundwater levels dropping 100s in feet, farmers who
inadequate with single bore well kept digging around seeking water as deep as
possible has increased the number of bore wells across the state and country.
It’s quite carelessness and lack
of awareness about concealing the bore wells that are not in use has took
number of lives in past, but we still continue to bear with uncared attitude to
feel only sorry after an incident take place. We can say it’s as accident and forget
once the news flashed with another but what if it happens at series. The Supreme
Court has already advised government how to regulate digging bore wells and
maintaining it safely, but none were so far into functional and they just pretend
to give priority only at that moment.
Apart tightening the regulations
for bore wells, we are also in need of advanced technologies into the rescue operation
to save kids as quickly as possible or keep them alive inside. We need to appreciate
our fire servicemen who regularly involve in rescuing children who fall into
bore wells as alive or lifeless, is a tough job and sure some technology like
the robotic that helped in saving a kid in Thirunelveli - developed by a Madurai
based ITI educator - will bring hope and easy the rescue.

With so much technical advancement nowadays, it is a shame we lose so many small children in this manner. There should be severe punishment for the borewell diggers who leave the well open without covering it properly. All the children are very small. This is not good at all.
Yes, they can follow some modern method like you said for rescuing the children fast.
i am so sorry. wells can be dangerous, for sure.
True! This happens only in India! Human life is so cheap, in fact it is free. :(
I'm sorry to hear about the children lost in these wells. Hopefully a solution to this problem will soon be found before more lives are lost.
It is so sad when a young one's life is cut short. Do they not HAVE to have covers on them?
Oh how terrible... Can't something be done at least temporarily to cover those wells ---to protect them from children outside running and playing???? Just some kind of covering EVEN if it is not fancy --would HELP.... Hope something can be done.

Everyone has to put in his/her bit..parents also have to see where their children are playing..
I have not seen open borewells, so can't comment on why they don't have some sort of boundary protection. But definitely something needs to be done about it.

There is a lot to be told. What the parents doing? Should not they have an eye on their children?
