Sujith Wilson couldn't be rescued alive due to lack of proper plan: Congress MP
Congress MP Jothimani stated that a lot of efforts were made by committed manpower including the rescue forces, ministers and other authorities, but due to lack of a proper plan, the child couldn't be rescued alive.
"Government and other authorities extended their help throughout the rescue process. Police, Fire tenders, NDRF were also involved during the rescue process. Some of the rescue forces came in very late because they were not informed on time," said Jothimani while speaking to a news agency.
"Despite putting a lot of efforts, the child could not be rescued alive due to one or two major glitches and we all are pained. I cannot express in words about the trauma that the family has suffered in the past four days. I cannot even console them because we were unable to give them their son back, alive," she added.
She further stated that people across the country had prayed for Sujith's safe rescue. She expressed her pain and asserted that everyone is equally responsible for the rescue operation including her.
"Now we have to think that how should such incidents be prevented in future. We have to develop a system for the same," she added.

2-year-old boy trapped in borewell dies, body taken out
Tiruchirappalli: The body of two-year-old Sujith Wilson, who was found dead in a borewell in the wee hours of Tuesday after a three-day-long struggle, was taken to his residence in Nadukattupatti following an autopsy this morning.
The body of the deceased minor was taken out by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team and taken to the hospital for post-mortem.
The Principal Secretary of Transport Department J Radhakrishnan had earlier said that Sujith's body was in a highly decomposed state inside the borewell and was under final observation.
"Sujith is now in a decomposed state. All efforts were put in to bring the child alive but now, in an unfortunate turn of events, bad smell has started to come from the borewell in which the child had fallen," Radhakrishnan had told media persons while quoting doctors.
Government officials and rescue workers were working continuously for the last 80 plus hours to retrieve the child.
On October 25, Sujith fell into the borewell while playing near his house at about 5:30 pm here. Later, he slipped further down into the borewell, with an official stating that Wilson was stuck at a depth of 88 feet.
More than six crews from the NDRF, as well as the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), were deployed to rescue the two-year-old.
Tamil Nadu Ministers like Deputy Chief Minister O Panneerselvam were personally monitoring the rescue operations and had met the family of the infant on Monday.
