and joining me now is Mr Ailes Kumar, commandant of the fourth Battalion of the NDR F, whose men are actually part of the rescue efforts there. First it was both Internal Valley and thi now focused completely on Thu Kuri area. Sir, thank you so much for speaking to us at the moment. What is the biggest challenge your men and your teams are facing there in thi our team are facing first that the vehicle our vehicle got struck at different places. And the second challenge that since yesterday morning I got that one train has been extended at the city by Kunda. So our two team tried to approach this station. One team is from the, uh, thin side and one team is from the Tru Valley side. This station is in between Turin and Tun Valley. So finally, today morning our one team managed to reach that station at 11 a.m. and second team managed to reach at 1 a.m. one PM. So, yes, that was going to be my next question to you. Have all the stranded passengers been rescued? Are they all safe now? Yeah. Total 774 passenger had been rescued. There is 10 to 15 passenger who is unable to move. They have they have to lift.

Perhaps restoration of road and rail links in that area in the situation is going to be normalised. But, uh, in two codeine, it will take a couple of days out 48 hours and our team who reached to the the valley. They faced many challenges. They have to drive the boat up to six kilometres against the stream of Maha Kumar Barani River. Then they had to carry the boat manually to one kilometre to reach the station and they had they took the risk also. But finally somehow our team managed to recruit the passengers from the city by Kam Railway station. So I we are expecting that, uh, after a couple of days, uh, situation will be normalised and, uh, today morning chopper service has also dropped the food and water. Our team has also carried some water bottle that, uh, that were distributed at the
