This video captures real moments from the Silkyara Bend–Barkot Road Tunnel rescue operation in Uttarakhand, where 41 workers were trapped after the tunnel collapse in November 2023. The footage shows the coordinated efforts of NDRF and SDRF teams carrying out rescue tasks with precision and urgency. We also see Gen. V.K. Singh present at the site, monitoring progress and interacting with the officials handling the mission.
