Chamoli: Army personnel build a bridge near Raini village, in the aftermath of a glacier burst in Uttarakhand's Joshimath that triggered a flash flood in Chamoli district, Sunday, Feb. 14, 2021.
Three more bodies were recovered on Monday from the flood-ravaged Tapovan tunnel, taking the toll in the glacial disaster in Uttarakhand to 53. The bodies were recovered this morning from the Adit tunnel at the NTPC's Tapovan-Vishnugad project site, Chamoli District Magistrate, Swati S Bhadauria said. Rescue efforts are now underway at the Silt Flushing Tunnel (SFT) only with the help of excavators as a camera or a pipe cannot be inserted due to mounds of sludge and water choking it, the district magistrate said.
