The operation to rescue 41 workers trapped inside the under-construction tunnel in Uttarkhand’s Uttarkashi since November 12 made a major breakthrough after officials managed to pierce a six-inch alternate pipe through the debris. The pipeline is now being used to serve nutritious food, including hot meals, as well as capturing visuals of trapped workers for the first time.
Food items including khichdi and dalia were supplied through the pipeline after consulting with medical experts. It will also be used to send mobile phones and chargers for workers.
