The Uttarakhand government is enlisting the expertise of special rescue teams from Norway and Thailand to assist in the evacuation of 40 trapped laborers in the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel. Contacts have been made with a Thai rescue company known for saving children from a cave in 2018, while Norway's NGI agency is providing specific suggestions for tunnel operations. Indian Air Force aircraft are transporting 25 tonnes of heavy equipment to aid in debris removal, allowing for the deployment of a steel pipe. Experts from Indian Railways are also advising on rescue strategies.
