UPDATED: Nov 24, 2023 14:52 IST
In the ongoing rescue efforts at the Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarkashi, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) conducted a demonstration showcasing the movement of wheeled stretchers through the pipeline. This initiative is a crucial part of the strategy to rescue the 41 workers who remain trapped inside. The demonstration took place in preparation for the moment when the horizontal pipe reaches the other side, facilitating the organised extraction of the stranded workers.
The Uttarkashi tunnel rescue operation to get 41 workers out entered day 13 on Friday. The drilling work from the Silkyara tunnel side, using the American-augur machine, faced yet another technical snag late on Thursday night after the platform on which the equipment is mounted developed cracks.
