The grieving family blamed the authorities for the death of the boy. The child's father Pappu accused the officials of mishandling the rescue operation.
The inconsolable mother refused to speak to anyone.
sonu case of borewellBy: kiran | 18-Oct-2008Reply | Forwardits not fine from the father of the child accusing the rescue operation team. there is even the neglegence of the parents leaving their child near the borewell even after knowing that there is a borewell there.
accountabilityBy: vishal | 14-Oct-2008Reply | ForwardLetme tell you how to stop these kind of things from happening - Choice 1 : The court throws the officials whose negligence caused this in jail for 20 years citing "death of a minor due to negligence" choice 2 : the public grabs hold of the officials and stomp the life out of them. Next time when a borewell is dug, the officials incharge of that particular borewell will be out at 10 in the night to inspect that the hole is properly covered. It is human nature of relax and let things fly unless they are afraid of the consequences. Make them afraid of the consequences. Things will automatically change. Let them go scot free and 6 months later you will be writing another sorry comment for some other Munnu losing his life to these borewells.
Sonu's deathBy: Sunil Sahasrabudhe | 14-Oct-2008Reply | ForwardThere are no words to describe sonu's parents mental condition. But then this thing was waiting to happen when careless authorities and equally careless parents are out there. It's unfortunate that a child lost his life for no fault of him. My sympathies with every parent who have lost their child or children. May sonu's soul rest in peace.
SonuBy: Abraham | 14-Oct-2008Reply | ForwardSo sad of Sonu a little one lost life because of someone else negligence. I can't imagine how the little one would have battled for life in that pit 70ft below. We as indians do not have a basic habit of safety. We find pits dug up by telephone dept., municpal corporation and all others who are eligible to dig and leave the open pit for someone to die. We need to act fast file a PIL (public interest litigation) aganist this and punish them for what the do.
How many more deaths are they going to wait for?By: Suchitra Poduval | 13-Oct-2008Reply | ForwardHow many more deaths of young innocent victims are they going to wait for? Why isn't there a system in place? And why a system, don't they have any common sense or sense of humanity even? That a borewell left open is a sheer invitation for death and only for little kids?? All they need to so is close it up!! The engineers who are in charge of such operations ought to be hanged, not just suspended, because they are too shameless to be affected by just a suspension. Madam, Mayawati, wake up!!
