Supreme Court of India on Borewell Mishaps | ‘Children Trapped Prompted Suo Motu Action’: Non-Compliance with 2010 Guidelines

Borewell accidents show that the 2010 Supreme Court safety guidelines are not being followed properly. The court took suo motu action after many cases of children falling into open borewells. Even with clear rules, these incidents still happen, causing dangerous situations and rescue operations. There is an urgent need to enforce these safety measures more strictly to stop such accidents.
