    Digital Desk: As the rescue operation intensifies at the Silkyara tunnel collapse site, 41 ambulances stand poised for action at the tunnel's entrance. Positioned for swift response, a green corridor has been established to expedite the transfer of rescued workers to the Chinyalisaur Community Health Centre, situated 30 km away.


    To ensure immediate medical attention, a dedicated ward equipped with 41 oxygen-ready beds has been prepared. Meanwhile, repairs are underway on the road leading to the tunnel, which has been worn uneven by heavy traffic in recent weeks. A fresh layer of soil is being laid to facilitate seamless ambulance access.


    Furthermore, security personnel have been strategically stationed around the tunnel's periphery, prepared to execute evacuation protocols as soon as workers emerge from the rescue passage.


    Efforts remain ongoing to ensure a coordinated and efficient response to this critical situation.
