Rescue operations for workers trapped in a tunnel in Telangana are facing challenges as the situation has deteriorated. The team is now less than 50 metres from reaching the trapped individuals, but the recent increase of 1 metre in slush and mud poses a significant risk of entrapment. Experts have advised that operations may need to be temporarily halted due to concerns about the stability of the collapsed area. The accumulation of slush has raised alarms, prompting a careful reassessment of the rescue strategy to ensure the safety of both the trapped workers and the rescuers.
