Uttarakhand Tunnel Rescue: Weather Department issues yellow alert amid rescue operation | ABP News

After the dilling in Uttarkashi's Silkyara tunnel came to a halt due to parts of the Auger machine being stuck in the rubble, a plasma cutter has now been flown from Hyderabad to cut and remove those parts to continue the rescue operations for 41 men who have been stranded inside for the past 14 days. A complete disengagement of the machine is necessary for the officials to continue their rescue work which involves pushing the pipes through the rubble manually in order to create an escape passage. A unit of Madras Sappers, an engineer group of the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army, arrived at the rescue site on Sunday in order to assist in the rescue operations, as reported by news agency PTI.
