The "real solution" in preventing recurrence of another Sujit Wilson-like incident lies in the closure of all open borewells and right now this was the focus area, a senior state government official said on Wednesday.
Wilson, who fell into a disused borewell at Manapparai near Tiruchirappally on October 25, was pulled out dead by rescuers early on Tuesday, after a futile 80-hour struggle to save him.
Commissioner of Revenue Administration J Radhakrishnan said the rescue operations were done "professionally" but that the result was "negative."
