Lid put on well shaft after disaster
The well shaft, in which four-year-old Jihad fell and from where his body has been recovered 23 hours later, has been finally covered with a lid at Shahjahanpur in Dhaka.
Jihad was declared dead after he was brought to Dhaka Medical College and Hospital.
The hole reinforced with steel pipe would be used for pumping out underground water but had been abandoned for around a year with allegedly no lid over it.
Meanwhile, senior sub-assistant engineer of Bangladesh Railway Jahangir Alam was suspended for negligence in duty. The contractor firm responsible for plugging the hole was blacklisted.
