Construction company grapples with prolonged dewatering process in Uttarakhand’s Silkyara tunnel, extending over a month

DEHRADUN: The Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi district came into the spotlight on November 12, following the collapse of one of its under-construction sections. This incident led to the entrapment of 41 workers, and despite various attempts by regional, national, and international agencies, including the efforts of “rat-hole” miners, the workers were ultimately rescued on November 28. However, the obstacles and complexities facing the construction agency for reconstruction have become more challenging.
