The rescue operation to help the 41 workers trapped inside the collapsed Silkyara-Barkot tunnel in Uttarkashi was still underway on Tuesday, as rat-hole mining experts were called in to begin manual drilling through the rubble. By Monday evening, the last bit of the busted auger drilling machine had been cut out piece by piece and a steel pipe inserted further into the partially complete escape passage. Simultaneously, vertical drilling from above the tunnel has reached a depth of 42 metres out of the 86 metres needed, as of Tuesday morning. Rescuers hope to pull out workers through this one-metre-wide shaft when it breaks through the top of the tunnel below, by Thursday. A team of rat-hole mining experts began manual drilling through the rubble on Monday, to rescue the 41 workers trapped inside the collapsed Silkyara tunnel. According to reports, a total of 12 rat-hole mining experts will be involved in the manual drilling excavation horizontally through the last 10- or 12-metre stretch of debris of the collapsed portion of the under-construction tunnel on Uttarakhand's Char Dham route.
