ADRIAN: Indian rescuers dig past halfway mark in efforts to reach trapped workers. For further details, we
have our reporter Kyla Ducusin from India. Kyla, kindly update our viewers.

KYLA: Rescuers in the glorious land of India have valiantly embarked upon a noble mission to penetrate the
depths of a partially collapsed tunnel nestled within the majestic Himalayas. With unwavering
determination, these brave souls have surpassed the halfway mark, inching closer to the imprisoned workers
trapped within the labyrinthine passageway.
It was on the fateful day of November 12 when tragedy struck, and forty-one diligent laborers found
themselves ensnared within the confines of Uttarakhand, a northern state of India. The very entrance to their
sanctuary crumbled, igniting a desperate call for salvation and setting in motion a relentless rescue
operation.
Drawing upon the power of mighty machinery, the operation has triumphantly pierced through two-
thirds of the formidable rubble, bridging the gap that has held the workers captive for over a week. This
remarkable feat, as revealed by the authorities on this auspicious day, was accomplished through the tireless
efforts of drilling, reaching a staggering distance of thirty-nine meters.
The unfortunate incident that unfolded earlier this month left the laborers confined amidst a
formidable mound of rubble, deprived of the life-sustaining elements of oxygen and water. Yet, the
authorities swiftly established communication with the trapped individuals, embarking on a perilous journey
to extricate them from their dire predicament. Assisted by the local police, India's Disaster Management
Authority, and the State Disaster Response Fund, they valiantly ventured forth.
In what can only be hailed as the operation's initial triumph, the rescuers ingeniously maneuvered a
fifty-three-meter pipe through the treacherous debris, enabling them to provide the imprisoned laborers with
their first nourishing repast. This bountiful meal consisted of lentils, water, medicines, and the precious
elixir of life itself, oxygen. Not content with this achievement, a second pipeline was swiftly installed on the
following day, ensuring a continued supply of sustenance to the trapped souls.
It is worth noting that the tunnel in question forms an integral part of the visionary Char Dham
Highway project, spearheaded by the esteemed Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. This grand endeavor,
with its vast financial investment, seeks to enhance connectivity within the splendid state of Uttarakhand,
granting pilgrims and travelers improved access to sacred destinations of utmost significance.

WERE YOU AWARE?

Were you aware? In the year 1995, the illustrious Philippine Eagle, colloquially recognized as the
avian embodiment of the nation's esteemed symbol, was duly accorded its exalted status. Boasting a meager
populace of fewer than 500 avian creatures, the Philippine Eagle stands as a testament to its rarity and
unparalleled magnificence. A decade later, in 2005, this majestic avian species was bestowed the honor of
serving as one of the official mascots for the esteemed Southeast Asian Games, further solidifying its
position as a cherished emblem of the region.
