Rescue teams in Telangana continue efforts to save 8 trapped workers inside the collapsed Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel. Indian Army, Navy, NDRF, and GSI experts say the operation is among the “most complex” due to thick silt and water flow. Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy cited geological factors for the collapse and stressed safety concerns for rescuers. Authorities are considering drilling from the top or side to reach the trapped workers. No communication has been established yet. Nagarkurnool officials confirm that dewatering efforts continue, but heavy sludge is blocking access beyond the tunnel boring machine.
