Guntur, Andra Pradesh: A rescue operation has been launched today to save a two-year-old boy who fell into an open borewell in a village in Andhra Pradesh's Guntur district. The boy, who has been identified only by his first name Chandrasekhar, fell into the borewell at 3 pm while playing unattended, the police said.
