Telangana tunnel collapse: Excessive water and mud seepage, low visibility making rescue op dangerous - What experts say

Live Mint  

Rescue efforts at the collapsed Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel in Nagarkurnool district, Telangana, where eight men have been trapped since Saturday morning, got tougher due to heavy water and mud seepage and low visibility. Increase in level of slush makes rescue operations ‘dangerous’ A National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited official informed the government that the quantity of slush has increased, either due to another sudden inflow or a gradual increase. Rescue officials estimate that approximately 3,200 litres of water per minute is flooding the tunnel, combining with sand, rock, and debris to create more mud and slush. ‘Visibility has gone to zero’ As per Indian Express, the Navy, Army, and other organisations had a lengthy meeting at the site on Monday, but the experts could not suggest how to navigate through the thick wall of slush to rescue the trapped men.
