Lamenting that two-year-old Sujith Wilson had died despite the ‘optimal’ utilisation of technology and manpower in the rescue operation, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami on Tuesday sought the people’s fullest cooperation in closing down defunct borewells and preventing such incidents in the future.
Mr. Palaniswami announced ₹10 lakh as compensation from the Chief Minister's Relief Fund to the bereaved family. Another ₹10 lakh will be provided on behalf of the AIADMK, he said. “We are saddened that Sujith died despite our best efforts,” he said. Ministers had camped at the village to oversee the rescue operation, and experts drawn from the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, the Neyveli Lignite Corporation, the National Institute of Technology and Anna University had explored all possible means to rescue Sujith. At no time in the past has the government handled an incident of this nature with the deployment of technology on such a scale, the Chief Minister said after offering condolences to the bereaved. The operation was carried out with the help of expert opinion of geologists, the CM said, as he sought to rebut DMK leader M.K. Stalin’s allegation that the government had handled the issue in an inept manner. Mr. Stalin had asked why the government did not approach the Army for help. The CM said Mr. Stalin had made this point even when a barrage collapsed in Mukkombu. “The Army had certified that the State Public Works Department had adopted the right approach. Mr. Stalin is trying to mislead the people with a narrow-minded political agenda.”
Puducherry CM V. Narayanasamy said, "It's very sad to see the loss of little champ Sujith Wilson. My heartfelt condolences to his family and his relatives."
