Sahu fell into the 80-foot deep borewell in the backyard of his house in Pihrid in the Malkharod development block on Friday evening.
Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), South Eastern Coalfields (SECL), and a team of robotics experts from Gujarat reached the spot to carry out the rescue operation.
A medical team is also present and oxygen supply is being ensured to the boy.
Officials on Sunday confirmed that the boy is receiving food and responding well.
A parallel pit is being dug next to the borewell that will help the rescue team in reaching the boy. However, it was delayed, as a big rock came in the way and it took time to cut it to make way for the tunnel.
Chhattisgarh state chief Bhupesh Baghel is tracking the rescue operation. He also spoke to the family members of the boy. He expressed his concerns about the child and is also taking stock of his health condition.
