In a remarkable rescue operation, 41 Indian laborers trapped for 17 days in a collapsed Himalayan tunnel were successfully saved. Intense moments ensued as they emerged on stretchers from the entrance of the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel. The 400-hour rescue faced obstacles and delays, with a specialist rat-hole mining team manually drilling the final stretch after a mechanical drill breakdown. Actor Akshay Kumar expressed joy and pride on social media, applauding the rescue team’s efforts.
