Imphal, April 24:
Presence of mind and alertness of a young boy led to the saving of life of his elder cousin brother from drowning at Thambalkhong yesterday.
According to reports, both the cousin-brothers were playing cricket when the unfortunate incident took place at around 4 in the evening yesterday.
Seven year old K Luckyson s/o K Inaobi slipped and fell inside a pond while trying to pick up a Tennis ball.
On seeing his brother fall inside the pond and struggling to get out of the water, younger cousin brother K Jackson s/o K Jugeshor alerted some of the youths playing in a nearby playground.
Two youths identified as Naorem Khomba s/o N Dhajabi and Chongtham Ngochou s/o Ch Surendra immediately jumped into the water and managed to fish out the unconscious young lad out of the water.
Luckyson regained consciousness only after giving a thorough rubbing of his body with ashes by one Huirem Inao and was later brought to JN Hospital where the child came to his senses fully at around 9.30 pm.
