New Delhi: Workers trapped in Uttarakhand’s Silkyara tunnel for the last 11 days are likely to be rescued by Friday, National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) member Lt Gen (retd) Syed Ata Hasnain said on Thursday evening.
The drilling work to pull out 41 trapped workers encountered obstacles, which resulted in a temporary stoppage of rescue efforts.
“I expect that in the next few hours or by tomorrow, we will be successful in this operation,” Hasnain said in a media briefing.
The NDMA member also said that the horizontal drilling to rescue workers may face 3-4 more hurdles.
