A family had a nightmare on Friday night when a toddler got stuck in a steel water storage container at Nuagaon village under Banki block in Cuttack district.
The child was rescued after a long effort by Fire Services personnel.
The two-and-a-half-year-old boy had been trapped in the middle-size steel pitcher while he was playing near the house in the evening. He tried hard to come out of the container but failed.
After hearing the child’s cries, family members rushed to the place and tried to rescue him. The neighbours also made attempts to get him out from the pitcher. But all their efforts proved futile.
With no option left, they finally called up Fire Services personnel seeking their help. A team of Fire Services personnel reached the village and rescued the baby by cutting the pitcher very carefully with their equipments.
The child’s condition was stated to be normal following the incident.
