Telangana Tunnel Rescue Operation: 10 Days On, No Breakthrough Yet
The rescue operation at the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel in Nagarkurnool, Telangana, has entered its 11th day with no contact established with the eight trapped workers. Despite tireless efforts from 12 rescue agencies, including the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and specialized "rat miners," progress has been slow.
What Happened in the SLBC Tunnel Collapse?
On February 22, 2025, a section of the SLBC tunnel under construction collapsed, trapping eight workers inside. The exact location of the trapped individuals remains unknown, making the rescue operation even more challenging.
Rescue Efforts So Far
- Multiple Agencies Involved: The NDRF, SDRF, and other specialized teams are working on different rescue strategies.
- Challenges in Digging: The loose silt and tunnel structure have slowed down excavation efforts.
- Equipment Repairs: A damaged conveyor belt needed for debris removal is being fixed to speed up the operation.
- Specialized "Rat Miners" Deployed: Experts who successfully rescued workers from the Uttarakhand tunnel collapse in 2023 are now assisting in the SLBC tunnel mission.
Telangana CM Assesses the Situation
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy visited the site and acknowledged the difficulties in locating the trapped workers. Authorities remain hopeful, but the situation is critical, and survival chances are becoming increasingly uncertain.
