Following the recent incident in Bihar’s Nalanda, in which a three-year-old boy fell into a borewell, Tamil Nadu Chief Secretary Shiv Das Meena has asked all Collectors to identify abandoned openwells, borewells and quarries that pose a threat to humans, especially children, and animals. They should come up with a plan for executing safety measures by August 25.
In an official communication, he asked the Collectors to take safety measures, which he listed, before September 30.
