The 4.5 kilometres long Silkyara tunnel project in Uttarakhand will continue after the necessary safety audit and repair of the broken structure
The Silkyara tunnel project in Uttarakhand, a part of the 900-km 'Char Dham Yatra All Weather Road,' will continue after a safety audit and repair of the collapsed structure, according to a senior road ministry official. The tunnel is a crucial element of the Rs 12,000-crore project aiming to provide all-weather connectivity to four holy towns in Uttarakhand.
The workers were kept under medical observation at a hospital in Chinyalisaur after their evacuation on November 28 night. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami met them and handed over a cheque of Rs 1 lakh to each of them.
The government of India is planning to overhaul standard operating procedures (SOPs) and rewrite contracts for tunnel construction to prevent incidents like the Silkyara tunnel collapse. The proposed changes will also focus on tightening safety regulations for construction workers.
