Uttarkashi Tunnel Collapse: Broken Auger Is Irreparable, Other Ways For Rescue Will Be Put In Place

As rescue operation at the Silkyara tunnel site paused again after blades of auger drilling machine were damaged, International Tunnelling Expert, Arnold Dix said, "There are multiple ways for rescue. It's not just one way. At the moment, everything is fine. You will not see the Augering anymore. Auger is finished. The auger (machine) has broken. It's irreparable. It is disrupted. No more work from auger. No more drilling from auger. There will not be a new auger."
