Uttarkashi tunnel collapse: Villagers believe Baba Boukhnag temple's demolition brought on tragedy

India TV News  

Uttarkashi tunnel collapse: The locals in Uttarkashi claimed that the under-construction Silkyara tunnel collapsed due to the wrath of Baba Boukhnag, a local deity, whose temple was demolished by the construction company days before the incident occurred on November 12 morning. After initial efforts to rescue the trapped workers failed, temple priest Ganesh Prasad Bijalwan said, company officials called him, apologised and requested him to perform a special puja. A local resident said that the labourers used to offer prayers daily at the temple before entering the tunnel for construction, however, it was brought down by the construction company days before the incident, which led to the accident. However, a few days ago, the construction company management removed the temple from there and people believe that due to this, the accident happened," Dhanveer Chand Ramola, a resident of Silkyara village, said.
