Manual Drilling Possible to Save 41 Workers Trapped in India

Manual drilling possible to save 41 workers trapped in India


Manual drilling possible in last resort to rescue 41 trapped workers: India: It has been more than a week since 41 workers are trapped in a highway tunnel in the Indian Himalayas, efforts to rescue them will be delayed further as Rescuers are suggesting digging out the last 10 meters of waste by manual drilling, according to a key currency.
A heavy drilling machine used to break up the simulated 60-meter waste was damaged on Friday and will have to be pulled out completely, according to an official statement.


For more than 2 weeks, the men have been trapped in a high-tended silkworm entanglement in a 4.5 km (3 mi) tunnel under construction. The government has said that they have full access to light, oxygen, food, water and medicine
A Senior official involved in the rescue mission told Reuters that the damaged machine could not be used, so they were planning to cut the remaining debris manually.


The broken drill machine, which had been inserted into a simulated 47-meter pipe to push the trapped workers out, was damaged after hitting a barrier on Friday. The machine has broken on a couple and some parts are being cut so that it can be pulled out of the tunnel. After that, the official has said that manual drilling will be done.
Everyone trapped inside is very worried," said Sunita Hambrom, who spoke to her trapped brother-widow Birendra Kushko.
My brother has told me that he has not eaten since yesterday. We are very worried," he said.


The government has not said what caused the tunnel, but the area is known for earthquake collapses, snowfall and floods.


The tunnel did not have an emergency exit through a geological fault
was made, a member of the investigative team said Friday, while not being authorized to speak to the media.


The rescue plan involved a pipe being set on a slow hum to pull the escapee out onto the deck. In a video clip provided by the authorities, rescue workers repeated the process of getting the trapped men out in a final simulation by going into a pipe and being brought out on ladders.
Another plan for vertical drilling from the mountain opening is also underway and the boring machines are being materialized, the statement said. The men have been released since the start of the week and the statement states that they have been sent 200 rotis or Indian round flat bread, lentils and vegetable baskets.


More and more doctors, including panics, are on the spot, talking to the men and observing their health.


They are instructed to do light yoga, walk in their limited 2 km, and interact with each other. Rohit Gondwal, a moody, said he is also suggesting that playing cards and board games can also be sent. The Grass Tunnel is on the
Char Dram Yadira Marg, one of the grandest projects of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.


It plans to connect four Hindu pilgrimage sites with an 890 km (550 mi) two-lane road, costing $1.5 billion.
