Deccan Chronicle  

DOMALAPENTA: The government is making all-out efforts to rescue the eight workers trapped inside the Srisailam left bank canal tunnel in Nagarkurnool district, irrigation minister N. Uttam Kumar Reddy said on Sunday. Reddy, who has coordinated rescue operations and is overseeing the requirements from the tunnel inlet site in Domalapenta village, said that every possible resource has been deployed, including those from the government, state and national disaster response forces, Army and Navy, along with other agencies. Uttam Kumar Reddy, who was joined at the site by tourism minister Jupally Krishna Rao, condemned the BRS leadership for attempting to politicise the SLBC tunnel incident instead of supporting the rescue efforts. Measures are being taken to prevent waterlogging, and alternative solutions are being explored to clear the mud and debris inside the tunnel.” He said that the rock formations in the tunnel had become loose, causing sudden water and mud inflow, filling about 12-13 feet of the tunnel.
