Oxygen was continuously pumped into the pit. Since it was now confirmed that the boy was no more, it was made a decision to opt for the not-so-delicate method of bringing his body out through the borewell itself by using the pincer instrument, without having to continue with the "careful" process by the larger parallel tunnel that was being drilled. Over the weekend, Sujith's mother, Kalairani, started stitching a white cloth pouch for rescuers to put her son in.
