PM Modi speaks with CM Dhami on the Uttarkashi tunnel rescue

On Wednesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inquired about the status of the 11th day of the Uttarkashi tunnel rescue operation during a conversation with Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister of Uttarakhand. The prime minister wrote on the now-defunct Twitter platform X that he had updated Prime Minister Modi on the developments throughout the previous day. The agencies are currently attempting to keep the stranded workers alive by giving them hot, substantial food while they endeavor to rescue them.

Pulao and Matar Paneer were served to the staff on Tuesday night. The site of the vertical drilling was determined on Wednesday morning, which represented a significant advancement. The Border Roadways Organization constructed roadways close to the tunnel site to enable equipment that was stopped yesterday to pass.

First day of rescue work in the Uttarkashi tunnel: Here are the most recent updates

1. The tunnel collapsed on October 12, trapping 41 workers. They have been stuck there ever since, despite the rescuers’ best efforts to reach them.

2. Using pipes and radios, family members have communicated with the stranded laborers. Tuesday saw the delivery of hot, cooked food to the stranded laborers.

3. “A spot has been determined for the vertical drilling operation. Nearly finished is the road work needed for the vertical drilling on the hill above the tunnel. The work on the more than 350 meters of completed road is finished. An almost finished road is being built by BRO between the Silkyara and Barkot sides, according to Anshu Manish Khulko, director of the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation.

4. To provide the men who were trapped food, the rescuers laid a 6-inch conduit on Monday night. However, all that was given to them was medicine, bananas, and oranges. Additionally, mobile chargers were transmitted via the conduit.

5. They were served chapatis with butter, matar-paneer, and vegetable pulao on Tuesday night.

6. For the first time since the collapse, an endoscopic camera was put into the tunnel to take pictures of the trapped personnel.

7. Due to an issue with the US auger machine, drilling operations were suspended late Friday night. Tuesday night, the drilling came back to life.

8. On Tuesday, an official stated that positive breakthroughs in the rescue efforts, which had been unsuccessful for the previous nine days, are anticipated in the next forty hours. This began on Monday night.
