Sikkim tunnel tragedy: Police official shares updates on rescue operation as death toll rises to 10

Sikkim Police official shared updates on rescue operation as death toll rose to 10 in the Sikkim Tunnel Tragedy. Speaking to reporters SP Namchi, Sonam Dolma said, "Around 27 people are trapped; this number could fluctuate. While 27 were trapped, we have managed to recover 10 bodies so far. We are currently unable to identify three of them, and the identification process is ongoing. We are trying to contact the next of kin or families of those we have identified so that we can hand over the bodies... Among those recovered and identified so far, three are from West Bengal, one is from Uttarakhand, and there are also individuals from Assam and one from Sikkim. I cannot state the cause right now because an inquiry and investigation are required, and we also need to seek expert opinions. We will address that later, but our current focus is on completing the rescue operation as quickly as possible. All state agencies, the NDRF units, and the Additional SP's team are here at ground zero... The fire services and SSDMA personnel are all engaged in this effort. The impact has been significant so far; the heavy rainfall since last night caused water to accumulate inside the tunnel, which hampered the rescue operation. Conditions inside were already difficult, and the water created further complications. However, the rescue operation resumed after the water was drained..." #Sikkim #SikkimTunnelTragedy #RescueOperation #TunnelCollapse #NHPC #TeestaProject #Namchi #NDRF #SDRF #DisasterResponse #SikkimNews #BreakingNews #IndiaNews #RescueMission #TunnelAccident #EmergencyResponse #LatestUpdate #NewsUpdate #DisasterManagement #TrendingNews** Join ANI's YouTube membership to get access to perks:    / @aninewsindia   Subscribe now and press the bell icon 🔔 to get new video updates: https://bit.ly/2UV4ygi -------------------------------------- ANI is South Asia's leading Multimedia News Agency providing content for every information platform, including TV, Internet, broadband, newspapers, and mobiles.
