During the early phases of the rescue, 100 horsepower and 70 horsepower pumps are being utilized to pump out the water from the tunnel.

Rescuers have worked for the last 18 hours to rescue eight individuals latest news: In a rescue operation, rescuers have worked day and night for the last 18 hours to rescue eight individuals who were trapped in the Srisailam tunnel canal in Telangana as part of the SLBC project.

The effort is made difficult due to the fact that the tunnel is inundated with water. In order to save the buried workers, the teams first need to clear the water that has flowed in from the Krishna River, on which the tunnel was originally built to pass. Water had been seeping in for the last five years from above the hills, and the roof of the tunnel collapsed at last, leaving the situation more precarious.

During the early phases of the rescue, 100 horsepower and 70 horsepower pumps are being utilized to pump out the water from the tunnel. After the water is removed, the rescue team intends to employ a conveyor belt to travel about 9 kilometers deep into the tunnel. Drones will be utilized to cover the rest of the area and provide protection for the rescuers. Eight workers are estimated to be trapped past the 13.5-kilometer point within the 9.5-foot diameter tunnel.

Drilling down to the trapped workers from the surface is almost impossible because of the heavy rock cover over the tunnel system. The condition of the tunnel has also raised further alarm, with two points of collapse within. The engineering team is taking a careful look at the situation. It is said that the tunnel initially collapsed when approximately 50 individuals were within it. Although 42 individuals managed to escape, eight workers are still trapped between the rock and the tunnel boring machine in a 15-meter section.

The rescue mission is still a race against time, with all efforts being put into making contact with the buried workers and rescuing them. The process is closely followed, and the public waits with hope for the rescue to be successful.
