The rescued workers are now under the care of doctors at a medical facility in Chinyalisaur.
Soon after the successful completion of the rescue mission, the prime minister posted a message on X: “The success of the rescue operation of our labour brothers in Uttarkashi is making everyone emotional.”
The evacuation of the trapped workers is likely to be completed today.
Medical equipment reached the site as efforts to rescue 41 workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi continued on the 12th day on Thursday.
The workers have been trapped since November 12, when the under-construction tunnel from Silkyara to Barkot got blocked due to debris falling in a 60-meter stretch on the Silkyara side.
Portions of the tunnel had collapsed following a landslide on November 12, leaving 41 workers trapped behind a huge mound of debris
The video, taken with the help of an endoscopy flexi camera sent to the workers through a six-inch pipeline, showed them in a healthy condition.
