Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Rawat said there was not glacier burst in Chamoli.
Multiple agencies have mounted a round-the-clock rescue operation to pull out all stuck inside the Tapovan tunnel since Sunday, February 7, when a catastrophic sudden deluge ripped through several districts of Uttarakhand. The death toll in the tragedy has reached 31 and around 170 are said to be missing. About 30 workers are believed to be stuck inside a tunnel of the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited project on river Dhauli Ganga in Tapovan.Â
The rescue work proceeded at a great speed on Monday with teams from the Indian Army, NDRF, SDRF and ITBP removing heavy slush from inside the tunnel. Non-stop rescue work continued overnight. Approximate 120 metres of the tunnel entry has been cleared so far. However, removing the enormous quantity of silt inside the tunnel is making it difficult for the rescue teams to move ahead with speed.Â
