Comment: Article already exists at 2023 Uttarakhand tunnel collapse. Wikishovel (talk) 11:26, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand - In a tragic turn of events, a landslide on November 12 triggered a partial collapse of the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi district, leaving 41 workers trapped under a massive heap of debris. Rescue teams from multiple agencies are working tirelessly to locate and extricate the trapped workers.
The incident occurred around 5:30 AM when a section of the under-construction tunnel, part of the Brahmkhal-Yamunotri highway project, caved in following a heavy landslide. The collapse has severely obstructed the tunnel, hindering access to the trapped workers.
Despite the challenging conditions, multi-agency rescue operations are underway, involving personnel from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Border Roads Organization (BRO), and various local authorities. Specialized equipment, including heavy-duty excavators and drilling machines, has been deployed to clear the debris and create an escape route for the trapped workers.
The rescue efforts are being hampered by the precarious nature of the debris pile, which poses a significant risk of further collapse. Additionally, the lack of ventilation and potential for methane gas buildup within the tunnel further complicate the rescue operation.
Authorities have assured the public that they are doing everything in their power to rescue the trapped workers safely and expeditiously. The situation remains fluid, and updates will be provided as they become available.

A landslide triggered a partial collapse of the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi district. 41 workers are trapped under a substantial mound of debris.
