Uttarakhand tunnel collapse LIVE updates - 86 meters left to Rescue 41 workers
On the 16th day of the operations, the authorities are examining several options for rescuing the 41 trapped workers in the collapsed part of the Uttarkashi tunnel. The rescue of the 41 trapped personnel in the uttarakhand tunnel collapse tragedy (PTI) is now continuing using vertical digging.
The rescue of the 41 trapped workers in the uttarakhand tunnel collapse accident (PTI)(PTI) is presently ongoing. On sunday afternoon, the vertical drilling of the Silkyara hill began, with around 110 meters of the slope to be dug out for the rescue of the trapped workers. The equipment has already dug 20 meters of the slope in a quick operation, with around 86 meters remaining. The vertical drilling equipment was brought in when the American auger failed in its horizontal tunnel drilling and became jammed in the metal grinder in the middle of the operation.
Here are the highlights of the rescue effort
• The vertical drilling equipment has already bored 20 meters into the earth in the first 12 hours of the rescue attempt, making the procedure quick.
• The vertical drilling machine is moving quickly from the top of the hill, while a plasma machine brought in from hyderabad is removing the auger machine from the pipe on the tunnel's side.
• Freshly prepared food, water, and medical supplies are being delivered to the stranded guys via a tiny 6-inch hole drilled into the wreckage.
