Rajasthan: Mother’s wish fulfilled as boy’s body retrieved from well after 21 days | Jaipur News

JAIPUR: The body of 15-year-old Narendra Nayak, who got buried in a well at a village in Sojat City, Pali district, on June 21 was finally recovered on Tuesday.
The body was spotted late on Monday after 21 days of a non-stop rescue mission involving the engineering wing of the Army.
The body was completely decomposed due to the pressure of mud, stones and water. It took six hours for the rescue team to look for most of the major parts of the body. The operation was continued all these days to fulfil the minor boy’s mother’s wish to see his face for the last time. His body, however, was completely decomposed and the rescuers had a hard time retrieving his body at 180-feet below the well.
Nayak, while working at 40-feet below the well on June 22, buried after the wall collapsed led to the start of the state’s biggest rescue operation in terms of the number of days. His body was found almost touching the base of the 185-feet well.
“Luckily, the body was recovered by the trained rescuers at around noon. It took a lot of time for the rescuers to carefully dig the area around the body with light tools and lift it safely. While retrieving the body, two rescuers complaint of exhaustion due to smell from the body and were given immediate medical aid,” said Kalu Ram Rawat, SP Pali.
Till the last report came, the post-mortem of the body was carried out was in a process of handing over to the family members. Indira Devi, the mother of the deceased, was present when the body was retrieved by the mission team. The Nayak family thanked the Army and local administration for their tireless effort in retrieving the body even after 21 days of the incident. The moment it was spotted the team under the main supervision of the engineering core observed a minute-long silence. The mission remained halted for the entire Monday night since the depth was huge and rescuers wanted to wait for sunlight to avoid any danger.
The rescuers spotted a clenched fist on Monday at 8pm. It took another two hours to confirm the development since many times the rescuers confused spotting lizards buried in the sand as the body. “The rescuers reached the body by 3am but they figure out that body has decomposed due to continuous buried in mud and water. The high humidity added with the smell of the body and fear of other gases below 180-feet halted the operation till in the morning,” said an engineer overseeing the operation.
