Hindu rescuers are trying to save a 10 year old boy, which has been trapped for four days in a well.

The child, named Raul Sahoufell on Friday in this very narrow well depth of 24 meters while playing in the backyard of his home in Chhattisgarh.

Soldiers and members of the Indian Disaster Management Agency, with the help of diggers and cranes, they try to open tunnels next to the well.

The child “Reacts well”while rescuers are monitoring his condition and movements through a camera, said Vijay Agrawal Jangir police chief.

«As the boy can neither speak nor listen, we face an even greater challenge“, He added.

Raoul receives oxygen through a tubebut a government spokesman clarified that the opening of the tunnel is delayed due to the existence of very hard rocks.

Chhattisgarh’s prime minister, Bupes Bagel, said he believed the boy would be saved, noting on Twitter that he had eaten a banana that rescuers had given him.

Accidents with children in wells in Indian villages are common.

In 2019 in the state Punjabin the northern part of the country, a 2-year-old boy was killed after falling into a well, after four days of fruitless efforts to save himself.

That same year, a 1.5-year-old boy was rescued in a neighboring state Harianaafter being trapped in a well for two days.
