Oxygen tubes were let into the well to help the child to breathe. Pictures taken with the help of a pen camera and a hidden camera show the hands of the child. The entire body appears to have been buried into the wet soil of the bore well. No movements were noticed since Monday afternoon. <br /><br />Though it has been more than a day since the child fell into the borewell, not a single MLA has visited the site.
