As the ongoing operations to rescue the 41 trapped workers in the Uttarkashi tunnel entered their tenth day, Indrajit Kumar, brother of one of the men trapped inside, said that the men are all safe.
“I have been talking to him every day. Today also I talked via the big pipe which was inserted. They all are safe inside,” he told reporters.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday, the second day in a row, to enquire about the operation to rescue the 41 workers trapped inside Uttarkashi’s Silkyara tunnel for 10 days.
In a post on X, Dhami said he told Modi that the workers were safe and the prime minister underlined that the rescue mission is the topmost priority.
This is the fourth time that Modi spoke to Dhami to take stock of the rescue operation since the tunnel collapse on November 12. He spoke to Dhami on Monday as well.
In his post, Dhami said Prime Minister Modi called again today and enquired about the operation being carried out to rescue the workers trapped inside the under-construction Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi.
