IndiaTimes Tuesday, 28 November 2023
The operation to rescue 41 workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi was successful. The multi-agency effort, supported by the PMO and NDRF personnel, lasted 17 days. The trapped workers were safely brought out, with the first worker, Vijay Horo, wheeled out on a stretcher. The workers were welcomed by CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and Union minister Gen VK Singh. Challenges included a minor earthquake causing debris shift, a loud cracking sound halting work, and the possibility of tunnel face collapse. The workers were found fit after a physical examination.
