Vikram Prabhu: IF only that borewell was shut
IF only there was a faster response
IF only there was better technology
So many IF's for just this one incident that took an innocent child.
There's no system to say it was a failure. HOPE we learn from what has happened. #SorrySujith.
Udhyanidhi Stalin: This sad incident should never be repeated. In fact, we are all wrongdoers in the world of Sujith. You will live forever in our hearts. Our deepest condolences!
Yogi Babu: Rest in peace my boy. May God give strength to the family. Hereafter every parent should have an eye on our children and also our government should initiate new ideas and technologies to rescue these kind of problems in future #RIPSujith.
Shanthanu: Heartbreaking to see dis happen over&over again #RIPSujith
In China a kid was saved from 300ft depth borewell. Disheartening to see our country spend so much money on so many other things but not able get technology to save lives from such incidents! Parents PLS be more careful.

Harbhajan Singh: Grief-stricken. The thought of me unable to do anything for you makes me only cry. This is not the way to lose one's life. Not only Sujith's life has gone, it has taken away our self-confidence. You will live in my heart forever my son. #RIPSujith
SR Prabhu: Very depressing to see we lost #Sujith Govt. should come up with right laws to punish the land owners who leave the Bore wells open! Also should buy the technology & training for rescue in the future. He should be the last one to lose life to this!! #RIPSujith

The first person to announce a concrete solution to deal with open borewell problems was J. Krishnapriya. On behalf of her charitable organisation Krishnapriya Foundation, she has been working tirelessly to uplift the lives of the downtrodden and soon after this tragedy struck, she announced that her foundation will make every effort to aid in the closing of open potholes and borewells, and that her team can work on-ground to immediately find a solution for such issues.
