Multiple agencies including the NDRF and BSF are working to locate a four-year-old child in the Nangli Vihar area.
A multi-agency search and rescue operation is underway in Outer Delhi's Nangli Vihar after a four-year-old boy fell into an uncovered manhole near Dass Garden Colony, according to ANI.
The child, identified as Imraan, was playing with his mother when the accident occurred, according to a fire official.
The boy's father, Khursheed Alam, said the child had gone near the sewer to relieve himself while playing in the park before falling inside.
Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Delhi Fire Services (DFS), Delhi Police, Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), and the Border Security Force (BSF) have been deployed to the site.
Specialised rescue teams are using scanning equipment and suction pumps to navigate the sewer line and trace the boy.
Sub-Divisional Magistrate Rajat Malhotra said the administration is making every effort to rescue the child and will share further information as it is received.
