VISHVENDU JAIPURIAR
Chatra, May 9: 13-year-old Kajal Kumari jumped into a 40 feet well to save the life of a three-year-old boy. She managed to save Shivam Kumar but injured herself. Kajal is studying in Std-eighth at Utkramit Madhya Vidyalaya in Husia village of the Mayurhund block.
Her father Suresh Bhuiyan, a daily wage labourer said Shivam came to the house of his maternal grandfather. He accidentally fell into the well while playing on Monday. The well was not having a guard wall around due to which while playing Shivam fell into it which was having 15 feet of water. At that time, Kajal was there who didn’t waste time and jumped into the well.
Kajal caught Shivam with one hand and a motor pipe inside the well from another hand. She kept shouting despite injuries on her head, legs and other parts of her body.
Local villagers who gathered there used a rope to pull the duo out of the well in a one-hour rescue operation. Kajal was provided treatment by a local quack. Villagers said what Kajal did was unexpected and so they will inform the people’s representatives about this bravery of her to get the girl felicitated.
