Tanmay's mother, Jyoti Sahu said: "Give me my child, whatever it may be. So much time has passed. Three days have passed, as officials kept saying 'two to four more hours '. I don't want anything, take out my son. I want to see my child once, whatever it may be, just take him out."
Betul Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Shyamendra Jaiswal late Wednesday said, "Excavation is going on and about 33 feet of excavation have been done. Our target is 45 feet. The child, however, is not responding as he might have fallen unconscious.."
