First visuals of the 41 workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi district, Uttarakhand, since November 12 have emerged. An endoscopic camera was sent through a drilled six-inch pipe to establish contact. In the video, workers stand in a line, confirming their well-being as rescue instructions are issued. The rescue teams identified all workers, shared visuals with their families, and sent essential supplies through the pipe. Horizontal drilling, suspended temporarily, resumed to create an escape passage using a 900-mm pipe, reinforced with an 800-mm one for added strength. Ongoing efforts aim to safely rescue the trapped workers.
