Robots Join Rescue Efforts in Telangana Tunnel Collapse, Seven Still Trapped

Nagarkurnool: Robots on Tuesday joined the operation to locate the seven persons who remain trapped inside the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel here since February 22. The Telangana government has decided to deploy robots to avoid any danger to the rescue personnel as the conditions inside the tunnel, including water and slush, posed a challenge. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, who visited the tunnel on March 2, suggested to the officials leading the operation to use robots inside the tunnel if necessary, to avoid any danger to the rescue personnel. Two days ago, the rescue personnel recovered the dead body of Gurpreet Singh, a Tunnel Boring Machine operator who worked for a foreign company involved in tunnel works.
