In the Uttarakhand tunnel rescue mission, authorities anticipate that vertical drilling will extend over four days, with the Indian Army actively engaged in the operation. Vertical drilling has already been started. The initial plan faced a setback as the auger machine, tasked with breaking through nearly 60 meters of debris in the collapsed Silkyara tunnel, collapsed. The damaged equipment necessitated a shift to manual drilling for the last stretch. A unit from the Madras Sappers, an engineer group of the Indian Army, is on-site to support the rescue efforts. The trapped workers, safe with essential provisions, now face a prolonged wait for their evacuation.
