NDRF medical teams, two dogs which can sniff cadavers, dispatched into Telangana SLBC tunnel

A medical team from the National Disaster Response Force and two sniffer dogs trained to trace cadavers, were dispatched into the collapsed portion of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel in Domalapenta in Nagarkurnool district on Friday in an attempt to identify the probable locations where the eight missing workers could be trapped. “The medical teams of NDRF are following the handlers of the two sniffer dogs as the rescue teams are confident that the probable location could lead us to the whereabouts of the trapped workers,” the official said. It may be mentioned here that the two specialised sniffer dogs trained to identify cadavers were flown from Kerala to the site of the partially collapsed tunnel late last evening. The Singareni Collieries Company Limited personnel along with Rat miners team have entered the tunnel at 11.30 am to work on the sites identified by various rescue teams.
