Telangana tunnel collapse: Rescue teams battle slush, seepage to save trapped workers

New Indian Express  

HYDERABAD: Rescue teams attempting to save the eight workers trapped inside the collapsed Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel since Saturday are not only racing against time but also battling continuous seepage and thick slush that have significantly slowed down operations. Transport Minister Jupally Krishna Rao, speaking on Monday morning, admitted the grim reality of the situation: "To be honest, the chances of their survival are very, very, very, very remote. While the fate of the trapped workers remains uncertain, officials believe they could be safe if they managed to reach the tunnel boring machine's designated safe chamber. In addition to the miners, 584 experts from the NDRF, SDRF, Army, Navy, and the National Highways Authority of India, as well as teams from JP Associates and Navayuga, have conducted seven inspections inside the tunnel over the past 50 hours.
