Following the auger machine failure, vertical drilling is being done to create an escape passage to reach trapped workers.
Speaking to media, the chief minister said the auger machine employed for horizontal drilling of escape passage was stuck in a heavy metallic obstruction since Friday evening.
The tunnel operation is in the final stage and "big news" is expected in a few more hours today.
Only 12 meter of drilling is left to reach the trapped workers and rescue operation is likely to complete within next few hours.
