The rescue operation to save eight workers trapped inside the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel in Nagarkurnool entered its ninth day on Sunday, as teams continue efforts to reach those stranded since the tunnel collapse on February 22.
Earlier on Saturday, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLAs visited the SLBC tunnel accident site in Nagarkurnool to assess the situation.
BJP MLA Maheshwar Reddy stated that the accident happened due to the mismanagement of both the current and previous state governments, stating that negligence had led to the disaster.
Reddy said that rescue operations are underway and that the state government is responsible for the accident. He added that the state government neglected several issues, which has now put the lives of eight workers at stake.
“Rescue operation is underway, but the state government is responsible for this incident. They neglected several issues and started the work, because of which today, the lives of eight people are in danger. The state government should take responsibility for this incident,” BJP MLA Maheshwar Reddy said.
Another BJP MLA, Payal Shankar, assured that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is closely monitoring the situation and has extended all necessary assistance.
“PM Modi is in continuous contact with the state government and has sent all the help required. The rescue operation is underway. We hope that the eight people trapped inside come out safely”, BJP MLA Payal Shankar said while speaking to media on Saturday.
