A 30-feet deep borewell in Gaya's Jamuaara Kalan village remains open despite administration's orders. This incident comes after the recent borewell rescue of a three-year-old boy, Piyaush.
The district administration of Gaya had ordered the Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) to take immediate action and cover all open borewells in the area. However, it seems that the orders have been ignored, and a 30-feet deep borewell in Jamuaara Kalan village is still open. This poses a significant risk to the lives of people, especially children, in the area. The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of the administration's measures to prevent such accidents. The recent rescue of Piyaush, a three-year-old boy who fell into a borewell, had highlighted the need for prompt action to prevent such incidents.
