But his mother remembers every moment of it. And now when news of Sonu's tragic death in Agra reached her, she couldn’t control the bitterness.
“There should be stringent rules that open borewells should not be allowed so others don't fall into them. When Prince fell we were worried. God heard us and saved him. I wish Sonu's mother's plea too had been heard,” Karamjit Kaur, Prince’s mother, says.
Prince's accident had kicked off a spree of administrative action. The Kurukshethra district administration called for action against those who left borewells open, but not many came forward to complain.
“Government had said all open borewells should be covered. What else can they do? But no action has been taken against anybody ever,” a villager, Gurucharan, says.
