After nine days of being trapped, 41 labourers in the collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi district finally received a hot meal as an alternative lifeline reached the site. Cook Hemant prepared Khichdi, filling cylindrical bottles to send nourishment to the stranded workers. The lifeline, a six-inch pipe, also facilitates sending essential items like mobiles and chargers inside. The breakthrough brings hope, with NHIDCL Director Anshu Manish Khulko expressing joy among the labourers. While robotic machines from DRDO arrived, challenges persist due to loose rubble inside the tunnel. Rescue efforts intensify with a renewed focus on evacuating the trapped workers.
