NEW DELHI: The Indian Air Force on November 26 flew in critical DRDO equipment in an effort to accelerate the rescue of 41 workers, who are trapped inside the collapsed portion of the under-construction Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi for over two weeks now, the IAF informed through an official release.
“Responding with alacrity to the requirements of the ongoing rescue operation, the IAF flew in critical DRDO equipment to Dehradun. #HADROps,” the IAF stated in its official release.
Earlier, a plasma-cutting machine was flown to the tunnel site from Hyderabad to cut through the Auger drilling machine and its stuck blades from inside the tunnel.
The process of removing the auger blades from the rubble was underway even before the new machine arrived at the tunnel site in the early hours of November 25.
