A six-inch pipe has been laid at the Silkyara tunnel through which nutritious food and medicines could be supplied to the 41 labourers, trapped for over a week after parts of the under-construction structure collapsed following a landslide.
As the rescuers race against time to evacuate the 41 trapped labourers into an under-construction tunnel in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi, a team of DRDO robotics has also reached their location to be of help.
When questioned about the inspection of the tunnel, Dix said, "It is looking good but we have to decide whether it's good or a trap, because it's looking very positive. I have got the best experts for this Himalayan geology here, I'm just one."
