New Delhi, Nov 27 (PTI) Manual horizontal digging will start soon in addition to the ongoing top-down drilling to rescue the 41 trapped workers in the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi, NDMA said on Monday.
The rescue efforts at the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi will continue into the 13th day as a technical snag on Thursday night delayed the last leg of the mission. Drilling operations were halted after cracks were identified in the platforms supporting the Auger drilling machine.
