Bantwal, Sep 4: In a tragic incident, a boy died after falling into a water-filled red stone quarry at Barekadu, under Bantwal town police station limits.

The deceased is identified as Sawad (12), son of Sadik. Locals said that the boy slipped and fell into the quarry when he was playing with other children. The quarry was reportedly filled with rain water.

The remaining children rushed home and informed their families soon after the boy fell. The locals rushed to the spot, rescued the boy up from the quarry and admitted him to a private hospital. The doctors however declared the boy dead on arrival. His post-mortem was conducted at Bantwal government hospital.

Bantwal town police station sub inspector Avinash visited the spot and registered a case in this connection. The illegal red stone quarry at Barekadu was left open without closing the pit. Rain water had filled in the over 20-feet deep quarry.

Locals alleged that failure to close the quarry has caused the tragedy. Complaints could be heard that several such stone quarries in the taluk are left open posing danger.

    Reason of his death is known ... yet our stupid system follows the rubbish "post mortem" to make quick bucks. God knows when this bullshit system will stop. Corrupt medical fraternity...all looters. Looting in the name of a deceased boy. May God grant the fortitude and courage to the family of the deceased to bear this irreparable loss and praying that his soul rest in peace.

    So young and no fault of him he died.Only if he could swimm may be there was a chance to survive.May his soul rest in peace.There are so many stone quarry s are there and not bothered to fill them Panchayat too is not worried to look into them.Important they get money.Heartfelt sympathies to his parents.May be they could have made to vomit water in his stomach ,in lungs first before taking to hospital and give first aid?was there a chance.Just hold him head down with the legs first and put finger in the mouth so that he could brings out water?Only a suggestion.when too long he was in water was not possible.RIP.Best close that quarry soon as possible.Take action against the owner.
