Telangana deploys robots for SLBC tunnel rescue: Minister Reddy
Saturday, 8 March 2025 () Telangana minister Uttam Kumar Reddy revealed that robotic technology is being utilized in the SLBC tunnel rescue to navigate the dangerous final stretch. The BJP criticised the state government's crisis management, demanding accountability and a judicial inquiry into the incident.
Rescue teams continue their mission to save eight trapped workers inside the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel in Telangana’s Nagarkurnool. Plasma cutters, high-grade shutters, and debris removal machinery have been brought in, with the South Central Railway joining the efforts. Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy estimates the rescue will conclude within three days, while tunnel work may resume in a few months. Contact with the trapped workers remains impossible. The Army, Navy, NDRF, and rat miners are working tirelessly to ensure a breakthrough while prioritizing safety.

A desperate rescue operation is underway at the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel in Telangana, where eight workers have been trapped for over 48 hours after a portion of the tunnel collapsed. To aid the rescue efforts, robotic and endoscopic cameras, along with an NDRF dog squad, have been deployed to locate the workers. A team of expert rat miners, who previously rescued trapped laborers during the 2023 Silkyara Bend-Barkot tunnel collapse in Uttarakhand, has also joined the mission. Accumulated mud and water are making the operation difficult, while officials warn that the chances of survival are "very remote." Stay tuned for live updates on this challenging rescue operation.
