Innovative Approaches in Uttarakhand Tunnel Rescue Operations

Rescue operations to reach the 41 Indian workers trapped inside a tunnel in Uttarakhand state have suffered a major delay after the drilling machine broke down. Rescuers are now exploring new ways to reach the workers, including vertical drilling and manual digging. The workers have been stuck for two weeks after a part of the tunnel collapsed due to a landslide. The operation has been challenging due to falling boulders, loose soil, and metal inside the tunnel. Authorities are also concerned about bad weather conditions in the region.
