TAPOVAN: For family members waiting outside the Tapovan tunnel on Sunday, their worst fears came true when the rescue teams after an excruciating and long-winded operation lasting over a week were finally able to enter 125m inside the 1.6-km long tunnel where they found the first few bodies under the debris.
As they moved out with the bodies on Sunday around 5am, the mood was sombre and heart-rending as family members anxiously scanned the tunnel’s entrance with sinking hearts to see if the next body coming out of the tunnel was that of their loved one.
“I don’t know what to say. We lost our last hope when officials called us to identify what turned out to be my brother’s body. My brother has five daughters, the youngest one is just eight months old. What do I tell them?” said Suraj Pundir whose brother Alam Pundir was an electrician at the project site.
