Uttarakhand Tunnel Collapse - Don't tell mom...?


On november 12, workers trapped inside the still-under-construction Silkyara Tunnel collapsed in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand. They had heartbreaking radio conversations with their family. According to sources, Pushkar, a 25-year-old construction worker who is stuck in the tunnel, begged his brother vikram singh not to inform his mother that he was stuck there. "Don't tell mom that I am one of the people trapped here," Pushkar said to vikram over the radio. If you speak the truth, your mother will be concerned.

The workers' families are hoping for their safety while they wait outside the tunnel. In the meantime, the uttarakhand government has made the decision to give the family members access to food and medical care. Food supplies such as almonds, kheer, and gram are being piped to the workers stranded in the tunnel.

"All we are receiving from the authorities are assurances"

One of the workers imprisoned in the tunnel, Sushil Sharma, has an older brother named Haridwar Sharma. He claims that as the workers wait to be freed from the tunnel, their health is failing and their families are becoming more and more anxious. Residents of the Rohtas area of Bihar, like Sharma, told news agencies, "We are just receiving assurances from the authorities that the workers who are trapped will be taken out." It had been nearly a week already." "No work is going on inside the tunnel," Sharma stated, his eyes welling with sorrow. The government and the firm are not taking any action. According to the corporation, the machine will soon be delivered.
