All 41 workers who were trapped inside Uttarakhand's Silkyari tunnel since November 12 were evacuated safely after which Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the courage and patience of the trapped workers and their families and the bravery and determination of the rescue personnel.
The 41 workers have been trapped since November 12, when the under-construction tunnel from Silkyara to Barkot got blocked due to debris falling in a 60-meter stretch on the Silkyara side.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reviewing the rescue operation and is continuously in contact.
