A two-year-old boy fell into an over 30 feet deep borewell pipe in the Hatigarh Chariali area of Guwahati today, Fire Brigade sources said.
The child identified as Afirul Islam was playing in a house construction site when he slipped and fell into the well, the sources said.
Operations were on to rescue the child by digging by the side of the pipe by the Fire brigade service and police, they said.
