Setback for tunnel rescue op as auger’s blades stuck in debris

IndiaTimes Saturday, 25 November 2023
Days of hope gave way to despair at the Silkyara tunnel as the US-made auger machine, which was pushing 800mm pipes to create an escape passage through the debris, developed a major snag after its blades were stuck in the rubble upon hitting a metal obstacle once again, the fourth time in the past week. The rescue of 41 workers — trapped inside the tunnel for 14 days now — “could take a longer time”, officials said on Saturday. The latest bottleneck happened on Friday evening, when the machine was just 10-12m from the workers, before its shaft and blades got damaged.
