Yet another report of a child falling into abandoned bore well has appeared in the news papers, and fortunately, this time the child could be rescued. I wonder how such things keep on happening in spite of number of accidents reported recently, in many cases ending with the death of the child. Who is to be held responsible for such tragic incidents? Do they not take any precautionary measures while digging and subsequently abandoning the bore wells? Has any case been registered against the owner of the plot where such abandoned bore well was available in the past incidents?
And what are the circumstances under which the bore wells are abandoned? Don't they make any scientific study to ensure that water will be available if the bore well is dug? And if the bore well is to be abandoned, why cant they close it or keep it properly covered to prevent accidents? Does anybody has any responsibility in such cases? Many questions need to be answers by the landlords as well as the revenue authorities of the State concerned.
