Workers rescued from collapsed tunnel to be flown to AIIMS Rishikesh
The 41 workers, who were rescued from the collapsed road tunnel in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi on Tuesday after 17 days, were expected to be airlifted to Rishikesh’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences even as they were in good health and under observation at a community health centre, said doctors. The 41 trapped workers were rescued from the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel in Uttarkashi district on Wednesday. Engineers working to drive a metal pipe horizontally through 57 metres of rock and concrete ran into metal girders and construction vehicles buried in the rubble, snapping a giant earth-boring auger machine last week. Rescuers established video contact through an endoscopic camera and sent in food and fruits through a second six-inch pipe inserted into the debris even as barrelling into the collapsed tunnel ran into fresh difficulties.
