Telangana minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy visited the SLBC tunnel collapse site on Monday to assess the ongoing rescue operation, as multiple agencies continue efforts to save eight workers trapped since February 22.

While rescuers have managed to cover a large part of the tunnel Tuesday — 13.79 km of the 13.85 km — the last part has been challenging because of a mix of water and slush at the collapse site.

Rescue operations in Telangana's collapsed SLBC tunnel are ongoing, with Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy assuring completion within two days. Efforts to locate trapped workers continue, involving expert miners and sniffer dogs.
