A tragic incident in Karachi’s Garden area claimed the life of a six-year-old child after he fell into an old, abandoned dry well. Rescue teams reached the scene and recovered the child, but he could not survive despite receiving medical assistance.
According to details, the incident occurred in the Ghans Mandi area near Hanifa Mosque Street, where the child accidentally fell into a deep and unused well. After receiving information about the incident, Rescue 1122 volunteers arrived at the location and launched an emergency operation to recover the child.
Rescue workers managed to pull the boy out of the well in an unconscious condition. The child was identified as six-year-old Khalid Junaid. Rescue officials immediately provided initial medical assistance and shifted him toward a hospital for further treatment.
However, the child passed away while being transported to the medical facility. Doctors later confirmed his death after arrival.
Local residents said that Khalid was returning home from a religious school when he accidentally fell into the well. The sudden death of the child left his family devastated, while a wave of grief spread throughout the neighborhood.
Residents expressed concern over the presence of old and uncovered wells in residential areas, saying that such abandoned structures pose serious risks, especially for children. They called for authorities to identify dangerous sites and take measures to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
Child safety experts have repeatedly emphasized the need to secure open wells, construction sites, abandoned buildings, and other hazardous locations in densely populated urban areas. Proper fencing, warning signs, and regular inspections can help reduce the risk of accidents involving children.
Authorities have not yet released further details regarding the condition of the well or whether any action will be taken to secure the site. The family of the young child continues to mourn the heartbreaking loss, while residents of the area remain shocked by the tragedy.
