November 14, 2023 - In a remote part of the Himalayas in India, 40 workers have been trapped for over 90 hours, and rescue operations are becoming urgent. Indian authorities have sought international assistance, particularly reaching out to the Thai team that successfully rescued a soccer team from a flooded cave and the Norwegian Institute of Geology. The trapped workers are facing difficult survival conditions with limited oxygen, food, and water resources, and some are already experiencing symptoms like headaches and nausea.
In response to the emergency, Indian authorities have actively reached out to Thai rescue teams and the Norwegian Institute of Geology, seeking professional advice and assistance. This highlights the urgency of international cooperation to address the challenges of this deep mountain rescue.
The rescue process has been hindered by the fragile nature of the rocks, and progress with equipment such as high-powered drills has been slow. Faced with this situation, the rescue teams have implemented various contingency plans to try to improve efficiency.

This rescue operation is taking place as part of Indian Prime Minister Modi's Char Dham Highway project, aimed at improving the transportation network but drawing widespread attention due to environmental concerns. The project has raised concerns about environmental damage in the Himalayan region, making it an aspect worth noting behind the rescue efforts.
As of now, the rescue work is still underway intensively. Indian rescue teams are making unremitting efforts, and international assistance is actively being coordinated. We will continue to monitor the development of the situation and pray for the safety of the trapped workers.
