Uttarakhand tunnel collapse

Stationed in Uttarkashi throughout the rescue operation, Dix, a professor and barrister, played a crucial role in assisting rescue teams and keeping the media informed of the operation's progress.

On November 27, a group of rat-hole miners was sent in that allowed for this breakthrough.

A plasma machine was brought in to cut out the auger from the rubble and the soil.

Stricter guidelines for construction in sensitive areas like the Himalayas stress the need for a proper muck disposal plan to prevent harm to the local ecosystem.

Update on the collapse of the Uttarakhand tunnel: Drilling friction-induced compression required the removal of a 2-meter section of the inserted pipe.

About 200 meters from the Silkyara entrance in the Uttarakhand district, a section of the 4.5 km tunnel the construction workers were digging collapsed on Sunday, trapping them.

It is being constructed as part of the Char Dham Road Project with the intention of cutting the distance between Uttarkashi and Yamunotri Dham by 26 km.
