Well rescued
Ulhas Mandlik, 35, a power loom owner from Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, and his mother was homeward bound one evening when heavy rain forced them to take shelter beneath a bridge. Not far away, a small group of labourers huddled together under a part of the cement housing above a 16 metre deep well used to pump water for irrigation. Suddenly, Mandlik and his mother heard the labourers scream. When the two got to the well, they were told that a 5 year old boy named Hariya had fallen in through side opening in the structure. Ignoring his mother's fear, Mandlik quickly knotted together lengths of flismy rope belonging to the labourers and ask them to lower him into the dark well." I hope the rope holds," he thought. As he descended, Mandlik noticed the metal ranks on the wall of the well. He grabbed hold one off and started climbing down, when he saw the boy clinging to a pipe running up the Wells centre. Grabbing the child, Mandlik started to climb praying that the old runks wouldn't give away and plunge them both into the churning water below. Their luck held and within of few minutes, Mandlik clambered to ground level and handed over to his sobbing father.
The man fell at mandlik's feet and offered him some money as a reward. Refusing the cash, mandlik took her and his family to a nearby eatery and offered them steaming tea to warm them up. Several organisations have honour Mandlik for his bravery and presence of mind on that which day 3 years ago."I am happy I was at the right place and right time", he says, and was able to return a boy to his family .
