In an ongoing battle against time and terrain, India’s military has escalated its rescue mission to free 41 workers trapped in the Silkyara tunnel collapse in Uttarakhand. As the third week of efforts unfolds, the Indian Air Force has delivered critical plasma cutting technology to slice through unexpected subterranean obstacles. This sophisticated equipment, sourced from the nation’s Defence Research and Development Organisation, aims to disassemble the debris hindering the progress of the rescue.
The operation, fraught with challenges, is advancing on three fronts, including a perilous vertical drilling initiative and a long-range tunneling effort. Despite the slow pace, exacerbated by machinery failures and treacherous conditions, spirits remain high. The trapped workers, sustained by provisions and hope, have managed to communicate with their families, thanks to a makeshift telephone system. The complex operation, likened to warfare due to its unpredictability and the fierce environment, continues to demand patience and resilience from all involved.
