Uttarakhand tunnel rescue: Rescuers were jubilant after the 17-day precise operation came to a successful conclusion.
The entire nation watched with rapt attention as 41 workers were brought out to safety after 17 days inside a collapsed Uttarakhand tunnel. The rescue was a marathon engineering operation where several agencies had to be brought in and contingency plans had to be put in place after giant drilling machines failed to get through the debris. Ever wondered how emergency responders feel when no one has been hurt.

National and disaster relief forces, the Indian Army, police, and several other agencies worked round-the-clock to free the 41 men trapped beneath the collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand. Another key figure in the operation was tunnel expert Arold Dix who advised the government and agencies during the rescue.
The "softly, softly" approach to drilling escape holes, and gauging the auger's impact on the already fragile and "still moving" mountainside, were key to the operation, Mr Dix told NDTV.
