In Uttrakhand, rescue operations continue on a war footing to safely evacuate 41 workers trapped in the collapsed Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand.

Necessary arrangements have been made for this.

 Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami is continuously monitoring the rescue operation. He instructed the officials to be careful and complete the rescue operation quickly. Mr. Dhami said that there will be no shortage of resources for the rescue operation.
