In a collaborative rescue effort in Kohima on Monday morning, a child trapped inside a slab-covered drainage was rescued following an hour-long operation. The incident occurred at Old NST in the heart of Kohima town.
The child, a resident of Daklane, accidentally found himself trapped under a slab-covered drainage on Monday morning. On receiving the information at around 9:15 am, the SDRF was alerted and a team reached the spot by 9:35 am. Kohima Police, the Fire & Emergency Services, and Assam Rifles supported by the public also collaborated in the rescue operation. To enable his rescue, the teams drilled open the concrete slab as there was no accessible opening nearby. After a meticulous one-hour operation, the child was rescued unharmed. He was then taken to the Kohima Operation Hospital & Institute of Minimal Access Surgery and was later shifted to the Naga Hospital Authority Kohima (NHAK).
While the exact cause of the incident is yet to be determined, it is suspected that the child had been playing near the drainage, attempting to cross it from one side to the other.
Speaking to EastMojo, Deputy Commissioner and Chairman of the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), Kumar Ramnikant said that the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and District Child Protection Officer (DCPO) have been notified about the incident and appropriate actions will be taken by the law, as per the investigations. He also said that the child sustained no physical harm but has undergone a traumatic experience.
The boy has been entrusted to the care of his uncle as authorities await further reports on the incident.
