Against the pain inside and out side as well, is the launching of 360 Degree Operation, finally, the way to rescue forty one lives trapped In the tunnel?..

Do you know where you are going to..

Do you know where you are going to..

Are we on the right track now? Is the Operation Tunnel leading to where it is aiming to, finally?

This is seventeenth day today where we witness government authorities constantly struggling with making all sorts of efforts to reach to the men at the earliest. The ceaseless efforts see the authorities fine-tune their strategies constantly finding new approaches too to get them out as soon as possible. But..

Dragged on for more than two weeks now, the rescue operation still has no end in sight. The story of new challenges propels rescue teams at every corner to tweaking their plans. Now the journey of efforts has reached to the juncture where drilling from multiple directions have been initiated towards the trapped workers.

Problem is not the time frame and issue is not the failure of plans tweaking to new strategies, but the worrying fact is the mental as well as physical well being of the forty one people. They might have not faced such a jail ever before. This is the most torturous jail of its kind in the world.

The cage beneath the ground challenges us. All the modern technology is being challenged but the human intelligence can never be defeated by any calamity. Only thing which is required is unity and joint efforts against the winds of storms.

It’s like a cage. A cage in a cave, a man made tunnel which now too pissed off to let go of them. This is the worst examination of the mental strength against the ones inside.
