Day 5 Of Tunnel Rescue Op, Food, Medicines Given To 40 Stuck For 96 Hours

Rescue operations to evacuate 40 construction workers trapped under debris at a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi district entered Day 5 on Thursday. For over 96 hours, the workers have been confined within the tunnel, their lives hanging by a thread.

On November 12, the Silkyara Tunnel project suffered a collapse, trapping 40 construction workers within the rubble.

The trapped workers are being provided with essential supplies of food and medicines. Rescue teams are maintaining regular communication with the workers, ensuring their spirits remain unbroken and their hope alive.

The under-construction tunnel is part of the ambitious Char Dham project, a national infrastructure initiative to enhance connectivity to the Hindu pilgrimage sites of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri.
