A seven-year-old boy fell into a 15 to 20 feet deep uncovered borewell in Madhya Pradesh's Damoh district on Sunday and efforts are on to rescue the child.

The boy, Priyansh, went to the farm along with his family where he fell into the borewell.

The borewell is said to be about seven inches in diameter.

SDM Abhishek Thakur is on the spot with the rescue team and with the help of JCB, digging is being done around the borewell and all efforts are being made to get the child out safely.
