Kurukshetra: Six-year-old Prince, who was rescued by the Army soldiers nearly 50 hours after he fell into a 60-feet pit while playing in village near Shahabad in the district on Sunday evening, was discharged from Lok Nayak Jai Parkash (LNJP) Hospital here on Tuesday.
Before his discharge Haryana Chief Secretary Prem Prashant and his wife presented gifts, fruits and toffees to the boy who was under medical care in the hospital after he was brought out from the deep pit in Haldheri village near Shahabad.
Prince’s parents’ Ram Chander, a farm labourer and Karamjit Kaur, were also present besides senior civil and police officers when he was given a warm send off.
A team of doctors led by Jagpal Chaudhary kept a watch on Prince who showed tremendous survival instinct by enduring the 50-hour long wait for help as he sat trapped in the pit.
The boy was given psychological help by the team of doctors.
As Prince spent what were the most harrowing two days of his life in the pit, barely 16 inches wide, soldiers of an Engineering Regiment aided by locals worked relentlessly to take the child out.
He had fallen into the pit on Friday evening after the labourers left the spot keeping a bag on the opening made for installing a submersible Tubewell.
