In the city of Hyderabad, a group of dedicated rescue teams have been working tirelessly to save eight individuals who became trapped in the Srisailam Left Bank Canal Tunnel in Telangana's Nagarkurnool district. It has been six days since the tunnel partially collapsed, and the teams are determined to finish the rescue operation within the next two days.
The Army, Navy, National Disaster Response Force, and rat hole miners have joined forces to remove silt and debris from the tunnel. Their main goal is to clear the access to the end of the tunnel where the trapped men are located. This has been a challenging task, and the workers have been utilizing gas plasma cutters to detach damaged parts of the tunnel boring machine.
The authorities have made it their top priority to clear the access by removing debris and silt. In addition to this, the rescue workers are also working on ensuring that the loco train can reach the end of the tunnel and that the conveyor belt is operational. To get a better understanding of the situation inside the tunnel, experts from the National Geophysical Research Institute have been called in to assess the area. They will determine if the continuous removal of silt could cause another collapse.
After a high-level meeting attended by military tunnel experts and state ministers, N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, an action plan was put into place. It was decided that the tunnel would be fully dewatered and desilted to aid in the rescue operation.
Uttam Kumar Reddy, the Irrigation Minister, expressed his confidence in the government's efforts and stated that no stone is being left unturned to rescue the trapped workers. He also mentioned that the rescue teams are working tirelessly, around the clock. He hopes that they will be able to reach the trapped individuals very soon.
"With the help of elite forces and new high-tech interventions, we are confident that we will reach the trapped workers soon," said Reddy. He believes that the rescue operation will be completed within the next two days, and new strategies are being implemented to overcome the challenges inside the tunnel.
As part of the intensified rescue efforts, the government has introduced reinforced support structures to stabilize the pathway leading to the TBM. This will ensure the safety of the rescuers as they navigate through the tunnel. The officials have been instructed to speed up the debris removal process and reinforce any weakened sections of the tunnel to prevent any further collapses.
The government has also sought the assistance of experts in the construction of tunnels in border areas and those who have experience in rescue operations after similar accidents in other parts of the country. Despite their best efforts, the rescue teams have not been able to advance further in the last two days due to high levels of silt in the last 40 meters of the tunnel. The accident occurred 14 kilometers inside the tunnel, and although the rescue teams have reached 13.5 kilometers, the mud, debris, and water seepage have hindered their progress.
In conclusion, the rescue teams are working relentlessly to save the trapped individuals, and with the help of advanced technology and expert advice, they are hopeful of reaching them soon. The government is leaving no stone unturned and is determined to complete the rescue operation within the next two days.
