Mavelikara: An eight-year-old girl saved the two-year-old Kunjanujan who drowned in the well by climbing down through the pipe and holding him to his chest. Diya Fatima of a family living on rent in Mankamkuzhi Kallithundam Parankamkoota is adventurously seeking the life of her younger brother Ivan (Aku).
The incident happened around 5 pm yesterday. Mother Shajila was washing dishes in the yard. While Diya and her younger sister Dunia were taking clothes from Aya, Ivan cut his eyes and stepped on the pump near the well, climbing over the iron-clad well. The middle part of the rusty iron cover broke and the boy fell into the well. The well is more than 20 feet deep.
Hearing the sound, Diya ran and saw Kunjanujan kicking his feet under the well. I didn’t think about it anymore. He climbed down through the PVC pipe to the well and picked up Ivan and held him to his breast. He held the pipe with his other hand. Neighbors Akhil Chandran, Benoi and guest worker Munna, who came running after hearing Shajila’s screams, took the two children out of the well.
Ivan, who sustained minor injuries on his head, is under observation in the pediatric intensive care unit of Alappuzha Medical College Hospital. The doctors said not to worry. Diya is not hurt. Ivan’s father, Sanal, a native of Alappuzha, was at work in Erumeli. Vettiyar Tanpanpallikkutam Govt. Diya is a third class student in the school.
