New Delhi: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Sunday tweeted his prayers for the early rescue of a minor boy who fell into a borewell in Tamil Nadu's Trichy on Friday and for whom rescue operations are underway. 

 

The operation to rescue two-year-old Sujith Wilson was delayed on Sunday due to rocks at the drilling site in Trichy's Nadukattupatti.
