An under-construction tunnel on the Brahmakhal-Yamunotri National Highway in Uttarkashi district partially collapsed at around 5 am yesterday, leaving 40 workers trapped inside. A multi-agency operation, involving the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF), and the police, is underway to rescue the workers. Communication has been established, and all 40 workers are reportedly safe, receiving oxygen through a pipe. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami visited the site, expressing hope for a swift and safe rescue. The tunnel is part of the Char Dham Road Project, aiming to shorten the journey from Uttarkashi to Yamunotri Dham.
