As the rescue operation for 41 workers trapped in Silkyara Bend - Barkot tunnel in Uttarkashi enters its ninth day, concerns rise over the workers' well-being. Suffering from health issues and increasing anxiety, the workers receive essential supplies, including antidepressants, through a narrow pipe. Efforts to drill through debris were halted due to a machine breakdown, prompting authorities to plan a new vertical drilling approach. Families express frustration, with one stating, "I am losing my patience!" Authorities aim to resume drilling in hopes of a breakthrough within two and a half days. The cause of the collapse in the tunnel at Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi, remains under investigation.
