NEW DELHI: With the crucial work of laying pipes in the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi completed, a temporary medical facility has been expanded inside the tunnel as part of rescue efforts to bring out 41 trapped workers.
The medical facility has been expanded for workers who will be evacuated. In case of any problem, eight beds have been arranged by the health department. A team of doctors and experts has been deployed.
All arrangements have been made to provide requisite medical attention to labourers after they are evacuated. A Chinook helicopter has been kept ready at the Chinyalisaur airstrip to airlift the workers after their rescue from the Silkyara tunnel.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami earlier announced that work of laying pipes in the tunnel has been completed. The task, which faced several hurdles, was completed seventeen days after the workers were trapped in the under-construction tunnel.
