Rescue efforts in Uttarkashi's Silkyara tunnel encounter hurdles as the auger machine, critical for freeing 41 trapped workers, faces "some difficulties" again, reveals international expert Arnold Dix. Drilling, halted previously due to an iron girdle, now pauses for repairs after technical snags. Despite setbacks, Dix remains optimistic about cautious progress. National Disaster Management Authority warns against undue pressure on rescuers, emphasizing the challenge's complexity. As repairs proceed, the possibility of success in the next few hours or by Friday gives hope for the trapped workers. The 12-day-long rescue operation navigates challenges with determination.
