Rat-hole miners played a key role in the challenging rescue operation that ultimately led to the rescue of 41 workers on Tuesday night. The rescue effort lasted for 16 days and involved coordinated action by scientists, international experts, multiple agencies including NDRF, SDRF and BRO.
These miners displayed their expertise and dedication as they dug out the debris of the collapsed tunnel section on Monday. Relief and rescue operations entered their 16th day on Tuesday, reflecting a concerted effort to tackle the crisis.
The incident came to light on November 12 when an under-construction tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand collapsed, trapping 41 workers and triggering a complex and challenging rescue operation.
