The incident occurred near Addathodu in Panja, where laborers from Kerala were filling soil around the outer side of a well ring. Suddenly, the soil beside the ring collapsed, and one of the workers was buried up to his shoulders.
Those present at the site, with the help of a JCB, quickly removed the soil covering him and rescued him. He was then taken to a private hospital in Sullia by ambulance.
The worker has survived without any life-threatening injuries.
