A one-and-half-year-old boy fell into a 20-foot-deep pit dug by the Electricity Department at Chkuma here on Sunday evening.

The pit was dug for some earthing work.

Besides a rescue team, fire, medical and police personnel have reached the spot. Oxygen is being supplied through a pipe to the child, identified as Sachin, Chief Medical Office Parveen Garg said.
