On the 16th day of the operations, the agencies are examining several options for rescuing the 41 trapped workers in the collapsed part of the Uttarkashi tunnel.
On Sunday afternoon, the vertical drilling of the Silkyara hill began, with around 110 meters of the slope to be dug out for the rescue of the trapped workers. The equipment has already drilled 20 meters of the hill in a quick operation, with approximately 86 meters remaining.

With the rescue operations progressing quickly, robotics specialist Milind Raj stated on Monday that the mental well-being of trapped personnel will be monitored by robots, adding that they will use homegrown indigenous technology for this.

“I’m here for the mental health of the 41 workers trapped in the Silkyara tunnel.” This is a locally developed indigenous technology. Robots will now monitor their mental wellness. “We have systems in place to monitor workers’ health around the clock,” Milind Raj explained.

“Internet access will also be available.” “This rescue robotic system will aid in the detection of hazardous gases such as methane,” he noted.

The robotic expert stated that he discussed the ongoing rescue effort with the officials involved, adding that the team will apply the best feasible solutions.

“There are three components to this robotic system. It features a gas detecting system; in addition, it will give internet service and monitor the health of the trapped workers from a distance of 100 meters,” he explained.

“We can work to improve their mental health with the help of this.” Prior to this, a building in Lucknow fell, saving 14 people’s lives. In the operations, we employed the same robotic system,” he continued.
