A team of more than 600 people is engaged in rescue to evacuate the laborers trapped in the tunnel.
A part of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel under construction in Nagarkurnul, Telangana collapsed on 22 February. 7 days have passed since the incident, but 8 men trapped in the tunnel have not been removed yet. The rescue continues.
On Friday, 2 teams of South Central Railway (SCR) also arrived for rescue. The team is removing heavy metals from modern devices such as plasma cutters and brock cutting machines.
Scientists of the National Geofigical Research Institute (NGRI) are also on the spot. With the help of ground penetrating radar (GPR), they are trying to find laborers buried under the rubble.
According to the TOI report, the possibility of any laborer to get alive looks very little. SP Vaibhav Gaikwad, SP of Nagarkurnul, said that the work of removing debris and cutting of iron rods is continuously continuing.
From Thursday morning, the work of cleaning debris and taking out the tunnel water is going on. A team went to the tunnel at 7 am on Friday.

Scared laborers started quitting work According to reports, some laborers working in the tunnel after the accident have left the work due to fear. The senior government official said that 800 people are working in the Srisalam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) project. Of these, 300 are local and the rest are from Jharkhand, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh. The officer also said that there is definitely fear among laborers in the beginning. However, the company has set up residential camps for them. Some people may want to go back, but we have no report that all the workers are leaving together.
