He further said, “Naveed has some mental issues but it is the first time that he disappeared from the scene”.

Naveed himself commented on the whole episode that the well was too dark even in daylight because of its depth whereas there is no water to drink. I tried many times to climb up to come out from the well but failed because half of the well is constructed with stones and rest is with bricks”. He thanked Allah Almighty who gave him a new life as he lost his all hopes when he was in stuck the well.

CDA Hospital’s Medical Officer Dr Hassan Durrani who treated the boy said, “Medically a man can survive even more than four weeks but the Naveed’s survival is a miraculous recovery because he does not received any major energy whereas his all organs are fully functional”. He further said, “We are examining his condition and hopefully tomorrow he would be shifted to the general ward where he would remain under the observation of medical team for two or three days and if doctors will find him fit than we will discharge him from the hospital after two to four days”.

Life and death is in the hands of Allah Almighty and it was proved by Saturday’s event. The staff of CDA Hospital, patients and their attendant is visiting Muhammad Naveed’s bed to see him, as it is an extra ordinary recovery.
