Rescue operations continues inside tunnel where many feared trapped

Drilling operation towards the slush flushing tunnel was stopped later in the day after approximately 7 to 8 meters of drill. A hard rock obstructed the cutters to operate. The rescue teams are now removing the slush again as earlier from machines. Slush started to take semi solid shape. This is likely to help in removing slush with more speed.
