Race Against Time: Rescue Teams Struggle to Save Trapped Workers in Telangana Tunnel

In Nagarkurnool, Telangana, a tunnel at the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) collapsed on February 22, trapping eight workers inside. Since then, rescue teams have been working day and night to bring them to safety.

After weeks of effort, on March 10, the body of one worker was recovered, but seven others remain trapped. The rescue operation is facing major challenges due to water and debris blocking the path. Special equipment is being used to clear the way, and teams are racing against time to reach the workers.

Authorities and families are anxiously waiting for updates, hoping for a breakthrough soon.
