According to him, the work is expected to be completed by evening or night and after that a connecting tunnel will be made to pull the boy out from the borewell.

The boy, who had fallen into borewell on Monday morning while playing with his elder sister, is showing no movement. However, oxygen is being continuously supplied and medical experts are on the site, an official said.
