A team of expert miners, who were instrumental in the Uttarkashi tunnel rescue operation in Uttarakhand, has been deployed to assist in the efforts. One of the rescuers, Munna Qureshi, acknowledged the challenges but remained confident in their ability to complete the mission.

Telangana Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy on Tuesday provided an update on the ongoing rescue operations at the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse site and said that officials had come up with a full proof plan to minimise the risk for the rescuers involved in the rescue operation and it will also accelerate the speed.
