In a critical turn of events, the Uttarkashi tunnel rescue operation, aiming to save 41 trapped workers, encountered a significant hurdle when the American-auger drilling machine struck a metal girder, forcing a temporary halt. Faced with this challenge, officials are now contemplating the option of vertical drilling. The Border Roads Organisation has readied the site, and preparations are underway. Despite setbacks, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami assures the public that the rescue operation is in its "final stage." Meanwhile, experts deploy ground-penetration radar and drones for a comprehensive understanding of the challenging rescue mission.
