CM Dhami said, "The responsibility of saving the precious lives of 41 people trapped in the tunnel is on all of us. The people involved in the campaign will have to work day and night to make the mission successful with full efficiency, capacity, promptness, and caution. There will be no shortage of resources for this work."

Final stage of rescue mission

Earlier in the day, CM Dhami said that the rescue operation is in the final stage adding that both the central and state government agencies are working together.

Uttarakhand's CM also said that PM Modi is taking all the updates about the ongoing rescue operation which is being carried out at the Silkyara tunnel.
