The challenging rescue mission to save 41 workers trapped in the collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi was reportedly halted on Friday night due to issues with the auger machine. Officials are now considering manual drilling as an alternative on the 14th day, despite it taking longer, News18 reported. Meanwhile, NDMA has deployed ground-penetrating radar to identify more possible obstacles and pledged to use every resource in the rescue operation.
