The Centre has devised a five-option action plan to rescue those trapped inside the collapsed tunnel.
Rescue operations at the collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand were temporarily halted today as authorities prepared for the next phase of the operation, which will involve a multi-pronged approach to reach the 41 men trapped inside for a week.
The Centre has devised a five-option action plan to rescue those trapped inside the collapsed tunnel. Transport and Highways Secretary Anurag Jain stated that five separate agencies will work on these alternatives, which involve drilling from three sides to access the trapped workers. "The government has taken a decision to work on all fronts to save the precious lives," he said.
As the rescue ops entered Day 9, here's NDTV's Ground Report from the collapsed Silkyara tunnel.
