Boy rescued from borewell

GULBARGA: The 10-hour long rescue operations to save six-year-old Navanath Kamble, who had slipped into a 40-foot-deep abandoned borewell in an agriculture field at Bhusnur in Aland taluk of Gulbarga district, ended on a happy note with the police and Fire and Emergency Services personnel scooping him out alive around 7.45 p.m.

His parents, Sugulabai and Kashinath, were seen hugging their son before he was shifted to the Government General Hospital in Gulbarga.
