印度北部Uttarakhand州Chamoli区Pipalkoti发生隧道坍塌事故[1]。山体滑坡导致水和碎石冲入由Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Limited正在建设的隧道,造成7名工人死亡,3人被困[1]。事发时隧道内还有22名工人[1]。
Uttarakhand首席部长Pushkar Singh Dhami表示:"安全撤离每一名工人是我们的首要任务"[1]。救援工作已全面展开,National和State Disaster Response Forces、Indo-Tibetan Border Police和消防部门等多个部门正在进行搜救行动,对抗上升的水位和碎片的挑战[1]。该地区近日遭受大雨天气[1]。
A tunnel under construction in northern India's Uttarakhand state collapsed on August 14, resulting in seven worker fatalities and three individuals remaining trapped [1]. The incident occurred at a project operated by Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Limited in the Pipalkoti area of Chamoli district, where a landslide forced water and debris into the tunnel that was being excavated [1]. At the time of the collapse, 22 workers were inside the tunnel [1].
Multi-agency rescue teams mobilized immediately to address the crisis, including personnel from the National and State Disaster Response Forces, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and fire departments [1]. Efforts to extract survivors faced additional challenges from rising water levels and accumulated debris [1]. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami stated: "Evacuating every worker safely is our topmost priority" [1]. Heavy rainfall in the region preceding the disaster may have contributed to the destabilization that led to the collapse [1].
