Uttarkashi: 11 days after a portion of the under-construction Silkyara tunnel collapsed in Uttarakhand’s Uttarkashi, the rescuers on Wednesday said that they have identified the location for vertical drilling to bring out all 41 workers trapped inside the tunnel. As per the Director of National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL), Anshu Manish Khulko, “The location for vertical drilling has been identified. Road work for vertical drilling on the hill above the tunnel is almost complete. More than 350 meters of road construction work is complete. BRO is building a road from both Silkyara and Barkot sides which is almost complete.” Meanwhile, a piling machine that was stuck yesterday due to the road being narrow, has now reached the Silkyara tunnel site.
