Uttarakhand tunnel rescue: Since 41 construction workers were trapped on the unbuilt Silkyara-Barkot road during rescue work on the 16th, rescuers decided to dig out all the rubble manually.
At this point, the recovery process consists of digging out the dirt with the coffee machine. Rescuers said the best approach was to drill holes by hand rather than driving parts of a machine into the pipe and asking workers to cut through the metal. The trapped person was located 60 meters behind the vegetation, and the rescuers were located 12 meters away.

Those who took the job were skilled miners (a method of extracting coal from narrow, horizontal logs) because they could navigate the area. They were accompanied by military engineers and technicians. If there are obstacles such as rocks or metal, rescuers plan to use blowers and hammers.
Jhansi resident Parsadi Lodhi, one of the rat miners who came to Sirkiala, said they entered the rescue pipe and used hand tools to dig out the remains of vegetation. “I have been doing this for the past 10 years… but this is my first time rescuing prisoners… There is no reason for us to panic. It was a big 800mm pipe and we worked in a 600mm hole. There’s about 12 meters of mud, and if it’s just dirt it takes 24 hours, but if it’s stone (in the debris) it takes 32 hours or more,” he said.
