After a two-week long rescue effort, all 41 construction workers trapped in a collapsed mountain tunnel in India’s northern state of Uttarakhand have been successfully rescued. The rescue operation was one of the most significant in recent years and was a well-coordinated effort by multiple agencies.
The workers were trapped in the tunnel after a portion of the under-construction road tunnel collapsed on November 28th. The rescue operation was a difficult one, as the workers were located deep inside the tunnel. Rescuers had to work in difficult conditions, including low oxygen levels and extreme temperatures.
The rescue operation was successful on Tuesday, when the workers were pulled out through a hand-dug tunnel. The workers were greeted by Pushkar Singh Dhami, Chief Minister of the state of Uttarakhand, upon their rescue.
India’s transportation minister, Nitin Gadkari, expressed his relief and happiness at the successful rescue. “I am very happy that all the 41 trapped workers have come out and their lives have been saved,” he said in a video message posted on X. Gadkari added that “this was a well-coordinated effort by multiple agencies, marking one of the most significant rescue operations in recent years.”
The successful rescue of the workers is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the rescuers. The workers are now safe and sound, and the rescue operation is a reminder of the importance of safety in the workplace.
