Uttarakhand tunnel collapse: Former Union minister Vijay Goel performs ‘havan’ for rescue of workers
New Delhi: Former Union minister and Vice Chairman of Gandhi Darshan Vijay Goel on Monday performed a ‘havan’ at Connaught Place’s Hanuman temple for rescue of 41 workers trapped in a tunnel in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand.
Rescue operations are being carried out on a war footing since portions of the tunnel collapsed following a landslide on November 12, leaving 41 workers trapped behind a huge mound of debris.
The Silkyara tunnel, about 30 km from the district headquarters of Uttarkashi and a seven-hour drive from Dehradun, is part of the Char Dham all-weather road project of the central government.
