Rescuers on Saturday began boring a wider and deeper hole into the tunnel at the flood-ravaged Tapovan-Vishnugad hydel project in an attempt to reach the over 30 people trapped inside for nearly a week.
“The Silt Flushing Tunnel (SFT) was punctured on Friday night itself by drilling a 75mm-diameter hole into it but now it is being widened to 300 mm so that a camera and a water flushing pipe could be inserted into the tunnel where the trapped are possibly located,” news agency PTI quoted General Manager of the NTPC project R P Ahirwal as saying.

One week after Uttarakhand disaster: The mountains, the floods and a dog searching for its puppies

Since the morning of the disaster, when a portion of a glacier possibly broke off triggering massive floods, the dog has been at the Rishi Ganga power plant near Raini village, say rescuers. Villagers add that it had about three or four puppies, which were buried when the waters came rushing in that fateful February 7 Sunday morning.
