Silkyara tunnel breakthrough note before late Monday

The government officials remained non-committal about the timeline for the breakthrough at Silkyara tunnel to rescue 41 trapped workers citing the situation getting technically “more complex” after the joints of the auger used for horizontal drilling got broken. But going by the time it would take for taking out the entire auger machine and then carrying out manual excavation, the breakthrough is possible not before late Monday, sources said. He also said that the agencies needed to dig another 12-15 meters for the breakthrough.
