It has been 12 days since the workers were trapped in the tunnel. For the last 3 days, it seems as if the workers will come out now, then they will come out.
The rescue operation of 41 labourers going on in the Silkyara Tunnel of Uttarkashi. It has been 12 days since the workers were trapped in the tunnel. For the last 3 days, it seems as if the workers will come out now. But then suddenly something happens and the rescue operation has to be stopped. This is happening again and again. Till last night it was being said that all the workers would be evacuated by morning.
This morning again it was said that the workers would be evacuated by night and now the latest update is that it may still take 14 to 15 hours to evacuate the workers that too if everything continues as per the plan. That means it still cannot be said when the workers will come out.
The reason for this is the obstacles that are blocking the path of the rescue team. One such obstacle came in front of the rescue team late on Thursday night.
The biggest challenge before the rescue team was how to remove the bar that came in between. Diamond blades could have been used for this but this would be quite costly. Friction means friction. Due to this, there would be vibration in the tunnel.
Therefore the team decided to cut the iron rods with the help of a gas cutter. Will be cut manually. Some people in the rescue team tied oxygen gas cylinders on their backs and went to the place where these iron rods were.
The oxygen gas cylinder also had a backup of only one hour. Therefore, the rescue team had to finish their work as soon as possible. After this, these iron rods were cut in 6 hours. The rescue team in Silkyara Tunnel has faced some challenges every day it cannot be said that there will be no challenge in future.
The 41 labourers trapped in the Silkyara Tunnel can be taken out at any time. The rescue team has forgotten the difference between day and night regarding this but there is a pile of challenges bigger than the debris overcoming a challenge. If yes, then another challenge arises:
- The first challenge in this operation came when on November 13, the pipeline was laid 25 meters under the soil. But the work had to be stopped after 20 meters due to debris coming again.
- The second challenge came the next day i.e. on 14 November due to the failure of the auger drilling machine and hydraulic jack.
- The third challenge came on November 15 when some parts of the auger machine broke down.
- For the fourth time, the operation stopped when drilling stopped at 12 noon on November 17 due to stones coming in the way of the heavy auger machine.
- Even on 18th November, drilling work remained halted throughout the day.
- After this, on November 23, i.e. today, during drilling, some steel rods were found in the debris in front of the auger machine, which the drilling machine could not cut. Due to which the rescue operation was stopped for several hours. After stopping for a few hours, the operation picked up pace again.
