Uttarkashi (Uttarakhand): Leader of Opposition in the Uttarakhand Assembly Yashpal Arya on Monday said if there was an exit tunnel in the Silkyara tunnel, the 41 labourers trapped inside would have been evacuated by now and demanded a CBI probe into the factors that led to the unfortunate incident.
‘It has been eight days since the incident. The workers are still trapped. It must be found out if there was a provision for the construction of an exit tunnel at the project site. If yes, why was it not constructed,’ Arya told reporters after visiting the site in Uttarkashi district.
