Chief Minister Revanth Reddy is expected to visit the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse site on March 2, as rescue operations continue to save the eight workers trapped since February 22

A section of the SLBC tunnel collapsed on February 22, trapping eight workers inside. Around 600 personnel from 12 different departments are engaged in the rescue operations.

Says the rescue mission will be completed in two to three days; emphasises that government is working with full transparency

Skilled rathole miners courageously entered the tunnel in an effort to rescue the eight trapped workers. They managed to reach the tunnel's zero point but found no sign of the missing workers or engineers. The entire passage, obstructed by debris and waterlogging, was filled with a foul odor, suggesting a potentially grim outcome.

Revanth Reddy reportedly briefed the Prime Minister about the SLBC tunnel mishap that occurred at Domalpenta in Nagarkurnool district and also discussed about various State projects

Rescue teams are also assessing the conditions inside the tunnel to expedite the operations

Placing safety containers in critical workplaces is mandatory. Workers would be protected if a safety container were available at the accident site and they could reach it in time. It is crucial to ensure that these containers have sufficient space for workers to enter and exit safely.

The tunnel has been the site of intense operations involving the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and other emergency teams

The teams are meticulously clearing soil mounds and concrete debris from inside the tunnel. Special measures have been implemented to drain water from the accident site. However, ongoing efforts to rescue the eight trapped workers have been significantly hindered by mud blockages.

Rescue teams are facing significant challenges due to mud and water filling the collapsed section of the tunnel. The last 200 meters remain blocked by debris, preventing further progress. Despite reaching the tunnel boring machine, the teams have been unable to move beyond it, struggling to access the final stretch where the trapped workers are located.

She expressed deep concern over the accident that took place shortly after work resumed. Kavitha described the tunnel roof collapse and the resulting injuries to the workers as highly unfortunate. She also pointed out that during K. Chandrashekhar Rao’s tenure as Chief Minister, a 10-kilometre stretch of the tunnel was excavated without any such incidents.

Rescue teams have managed to extract three workers who sustained injuries and have been promptly shifted to Genco Hospital for treatment

The roof collapse occurred at the 14th kilometre of the left-side tunnel, where work had resumed just four days earlier after a prolonged halt. Several workers were inside the tunnel at the time of the incident, with some managing to escape with minor injuries.
