The rescue operations to evacuate 41 workers trapped in Uttarakhand's Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi district continued for the fifteenth day on Sunday.
Mahmood Ahmed, managing director of National Highways Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited, said that multiple plans have been put into action to rescue the workers.
Vertical drilling, one of the several chalked-out options to bring out the workers trapped since November 12, is currently underway.
The Indian Army has also joined the operation and been tasked with the manual drilling.
