After nearly two weeks of tireless efforts, officials believe the complex rescue operation to evacuate 41 workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand is likely to conclude today. However, authorities caution against predicting a timeline, likening the challenging operation to 'war'. Drilling restarts at 11am after a technical halt. Personnel are fully prepared to safely extract workers on stretchers once a pathway is cleared. Chief Minister Dhami has set up camp on-site to monitor progress. With drilling in its final phase, there is hope the trapped workers will finally see light at the end of the tunnel after 12 arduous days.
