A six-year-old child has fallen into a sewerage drain at Dhaka's Kadamtali.

Kadamtali Police Station OC Kazi Wazed Ali said the child, 'Nirob', fell into the drain of industrial waste in Palparha of Shyampur Union around 4pm on Tuesday.

Fire Service divers are trying to rescue the child since 5:30pm, he said.

Locals rescued Jihad after nearly a whole day's effort but doctors declared that the child had died several hours ago before he was pulled out.
