President of the International Tunnelling Underground Space Association Arnold Dix assured that the trapped men would be rescued. Before starting the operations, Dix also offered prayers at a make-shift temple near the rescue site. 41 workers are trapped in the under-construction Silkyara Tunnel in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. Govt has made a decision to work on all fronts to save the precious lives of the workers. Rescue teams are now laying a 6-inch pipe instead of 4 to provide food, other amenities to the workers.
