Capping an operation that lasted over 400 hours, rescuers managed to reach 41 workers trapped in the Uttarkashi tunnel since November 12.
It was a test of grit and perseverance – for men on both sides of the 57 metres of debris – as the rescue operation suffered one setback after another.
In the end, with the drilling machine giving way, it was 12 “rat-hole miners” who dug through the last 12 metres and reached the trapped men.
At 8 pm, the first worker was taken out and subsequently the others were rescued as well.
People reacted to the rescue of the workers on X.
Here are some of the reactions.
