First, it is heartening that thekid is doing fine. Then, let's not get too cynical here. Girl's parents can be held for negligence, but I would go after the department (must be a govt deptt) who ordered the digging at the first place and then decided to leave it open. It his borewell was not required for the time being,then they must have covered it with cement and stones/bricks etc. They should have posted a board there indicating that there is a borewell and keep your children away from it. Nothing of this sort was done. I am surprised that none of the district authorities where similar incidents have happened in the past, have thought to punish those sitting in the govt offices who were responsible for digging and leaving it open.
We are yet to set aside the responsibilities. We tend to kill the messenger most of the time or someone least culpable to show to the public that we did somthing.
It is about time to identify and tighten the screws around the most culpable. Thanks.
