‘With a snake for 104 hours. Brave boy’: Chhattisgarh CM praises 11-year-old

In another post, as the boy was brought out, he wrote: “Understandably, the challenge was huge. But our team stands calm in the face of adversity. If the path is tricky, our will is strong. With blessings and dedicated efforts of the rescue team, Rahul Sahu has been brought out. We hope and pray he gets better soon.”

Around 500 personnel, including officials from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Army and the local police were involved in the rescue operation.

The 11-year-old had fallen into the borewell on Friday while playing near his home. A 70-feet pit parallel to the borewell was reportedly dug up on Friday evening, while a 15-feet tunnel was constructed to connect the pit with the borewell.
