QUESTION
Need advice on cleaning of borewell

Dear Sir,

I had dug a borewell at my farm in Doddaballapur for a total length of 320 feet and fixed a taxmo pump motor of 7.5 HP at the depth of 180 ft as the motor could not be lowered further and got jammed at that level. Have used Ashirwad plastic pipes. After using motor for about 7-8 months, the motor stopped pumping water suddenly. The starter panel read 4 amps. The bore used to yield 3 inches flow of water continuously for three hours. The local supplier of bore pump motor advised me to remove the motor and check if the water level had gone below the motor. Just yesterday while we could remove all the pipes the pump motor could not be extracted, it remained stuck in the hole below 180 ft. The camera was lowered to check the bore. It showed few rock pieces clogging up the hole at 68 feet. I am advised to clean up the bore, try to extract the motor and check the water level or else dig a fresh borewell abandoning this present one. Please advice me how to go about.
