UTTARKASHI, Nov. 25, 2023 (TBINN)
International tunnelling expert Arnold Dix today said the auger machine engaged for drilling through the rubble at the Silkyara Tunnel has busted with rescuers considering other options, including vertical and manual drilling, to bring out the 41 trapped workers.
Augering is finished… the auger is broken, destructed, Arnold Dix told reporters in Silkyara.
The auger machine faced repeated obstructions over the past few days while drilling through the rubble to prepare an escape passage for the trapped men.
