The location for vertical drilling to bring out 41 workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel has been identified.

As the rescue operations entered the 11th day, an official said that the road work for vertical drilling on the hill above the tunnel is almost complete.

A piling machine that was stuck yesterday due to the road being narrow, has now reached the tunnel site.

Meanwhile, the horizontal drilling has been resumed and food is being supplied through a six-inch pipe.

According to officials, 800 diameter steel pipes have been inserted up to 32 metres through the rubble so far.
