Twenty eight days after the collapse of the SLBC tunnel, rescue operations are inching ahead with seven more bodies to be retrieved. Robots that were requisitioned to salvage the bodies have not yet been made fully operational
Reportedly, the bodies are being retrieved from the silt and debris accumulated in the tunnel and are likely to be shifted to Nagarkurnool District Hospital
Communication challenges are crippling the rescue efforts at the SLBC tunnel collapse site. Rescue teams are unable to communicate with each other deep inside the tunnel as cell phone signals are not present.
More than 72 hours after a portion of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapsed, the fate of eight men, including two engineers and two machine operators, was unknown.
