Rescue operations continue inside the Tapovan Tunnel, following the glacier burst at Joshimath which triggered a massive flash flood in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand.
Bright lights illuminate the surreal scene deep inside the tunnel: slush and mud, tread marks of vehicles that have been going in and out for the past week, and a single excavator still at work. Three more bodies of the estimated 30 people initially feared trapped inside the Tapovan hydel project tunnel in Uttarakhandâs Chamoli district were pulled out Tuesday.
But the pace of work during the day has been slow, officials said. Water is seeping out from the yet to be cleared portion of the tunnel, and is being continuously pumped out.
