A portion of the tunnel had caved in on November 12, with the debris falling in the 60-metre stretch on the Silkyara side of the tunnel, thereby trapping 41 labourers inside the under-construction structure.

A comprehensive operation was rolled out under the supervision of the Centre and state to save the lives of the people trapped in the tunnel.
