Rescue Ops Enters 15th Day in T’gana Tunnel Collapse; 8 Still Trapped
The rescue operation in the Telangana tunnel collapse incident entered its 15th day on Saturday, with no signs of the eight people who are still trapped in the SLBC project tunnel. The incident occurred on February 22, when a section of the tunnel collapsed, burying engineers and laborers under debris.
The rescue personnel have been working tirelessly to locate and rescue the trapped individuals, using advanced equipment and technology to navigate the treacherous terrain. So far, they have managed to remove a significant amount of silt and debris from the tunnel, but unfortunately, there has been no breakthrough in the rescue efforts.
The rescue team, comprising experts from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and other agencies, has been using specialized equipment, including drones and cameras, to scan the tunnel and identify potential escape routes or signs of life. They have also been relying on the expertise of trained dogs to sniff out any survivors.
The dogs have been instrumental in identifying the locations where the trapped individuals are likely to be, and the rescue team has been working to remove the silt and debris from those areas. However, despite their best efforts, the team has yet to find any signs of the eight people who are still trapped.
The tunnel collapse occurred during the construction of the SLBC project, which is a major infrastructure development project aimed at improving the connectivity between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The project is being executed by the state government, and it was expected to be completed within a specified timeframe.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the state, and the government has been working closely with the rescue teams to ensure that the trapped individuals are rescued as soon as possible. The state government has also set up a control room to monitor the rescue operations and provide support to the families of the trapped individuals.
The rescue team has been working around the clock to rescue the trapped individuals, and the government has assured the public that every possible effort is being made to ensure the safe rescue of the trapped individuals.
The incident has also raised questions about the safety measures in place during the construction of the tunnel, and an investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the collapse. The government has promised to take strict action against anyone found responsible for the collapse and to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future.
As the rescue operations enter their 15th day, the state government has appealed to the public to remain calm and patient, and to cooperate with the rescue teams. The government has also assured the families of the trapped individuals that every possible effort is being made to rescue their loved ones and that they will be kept informed of any developments.
In a statement, the state government said, “The rescue operation is ongoing, and the government is committed to ensuring the safe rescue of the trapped individuals. We urge the public to remain calm and patient, and to cooperate with the rescue teams.”
The rescue operations are expected to continue for several more days, and the government has promised to provide all necessary support to the families of the trapped individuals. The incident has once again highlighted the importance of ensuring the safety of workers during construction projects, and it is hoped that the rescue operations will be successful in rescuing the trapped individuals.
