The rat-hole miners said Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami's gesture was "not commensurate" with the role they had played.
The rat-hole miners who played a vital role in evacuating 41 workers trapped in the Silkyara tunnel have refused to encash the cheques of Rs 50,000 given to them recently by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.
The rat-hole miners said the chief minister's gesture was "not commensurate" with the role they had played.
"It was a desperate situation. We chipped in when the machines had failed to reach the trapped workers. We drilled manually through the debris risking our lives without putting any preconditions. We appreciate the gesture of the chief minister but are not satisfied with the amount that was given to us," Vakil Hassan, who headed the team of the rat-hole miners, told PTI.
