The rescue operation faced a major setback on Thursday after the auger drilling machine hit a technical snag, leading to a temporary pause.
Later, the team resorted to initiating vertical drilling from the tunnel's top. Simultaneously, the authorities focused on manual drilling using rat-hole miningtechnique to clear the last 10 metres of debris.
Post evacuation procedure
Upon reaching the trapped workers, they will be taken out on a wheeled stretcher and carefully pulled outside by rescue teams using ropes. This process is expected to take around two to three hours, considering the practiced procedure.
