Uttarakhand tunnel rescue: Agencies face another challenge before expected breakthrough
Wednesday, 22 November 2023 Efforts are underway to evacuate the 41 workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel in India. Agencies encountered a setback when the auger machine hit a hard object, possibly metal, while drilling. Once the obstacle is removed, officials are optimistic that the drilling operation will proceed smoothly. Food and other essentials are being sent through a pipe to the trapped workers. Preparations for alternative rescue options are also being made in case of any unforeseen issues. The workers have reported that they are safe.

The Supreme Court on July 22 stayed the order passed by Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand police asking eatery owners along the Kanwar Yatra path to display names of owners and the staff employed by them.

The court was hearing a plea by an NGO that challenged the orders issued by the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand government. The order directed shop owners and eateries along the Kanwar Yatra route to display the names of their owners.
