In this article, we will talk about the Uttarkashi tunnel collapse. The rescue effort started on 12 November 2023, Sunday. The rescue process to free 41 construction employees trapped for two weeks in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, suffered another setback on 25 November 2023. The drilling machine broke down, leaving saviors with no option but to manually remove rubble, stones, and metal debris. Currently, this incident has been gaining massive attention from the people as they want to know the complete information about the news. Here we have more information about the news and we will share it with you in this article, so let’s continue the article.
As per the report, International specialist Arnold Dix, leading the research team in Uttarakhand shared the news that the drilling machine is beyond repair, stating,” The mountain has one more time resisted the auger (machine).” The timeline for continuing the drilling remains uncertain as the whole machine must be removed and substituted. As we already mentioned the ordeal started on 12 November 2023, on Sunday when a landslide generated sections of the 4.5-kilometre tunnel to cave in leaving the employees stranded about 200 meters from the entry.

The rough terrain has been a severe challenge for the drilling machine, which earlier broke down twice while attempting to dig horizontally toward the trapped employees. The machine stopped after breeding about two meters of the final 12-meter stretch of rock debris required to make a getaway passage for the employees. Saviors have installed lines in the dug-out track and fused them together to serve as a way for the employees to be evacuated on wheeled stretchers. Around 46 meters of piping have been applied so far. You are on the correct page for more information about the news, so please read the complete article.
As far as we know, throughout their ordeal, officers have supplied the trapped workers with hot meals through a six-inch pipe. Oxygen has been supplied through a disconnected pipe. Over a dozen doctors, including psychiatrists, have been on site to monitor their well-being. A new drilling machine, prepared for vertical excavation, was brought to the site later on 26 November 2023, Sunday. This vertical dig describes an alternative method to reach the trapped employees. Here we have shared all the information that we had. Stay tuned to us for more updates.
