CHENNAI: Doctors at the Institute of Child Health (ICH), Egmore, have saved a two-year-old child after an iron rod pierced through his mouth and neck.
Alvin Anto, the toddler from Chengalpet, fell into a 10 feet deep construction pit while he was playing in front of his home on Monday evening. The pit, which was dug by to set up a sump, was not covered and had iron rods. A half-inch-wide rod pierced Anto's mouth while he was stuck in the pit.
