For the first time, stranded workers in a tunnel in Uttarakhand were seen as a camera inserted through a pipe captured their visuals. Following ten days into a daunting rescue effort, an endoscopic camera was pushed inside the tunnel through a six-inch pipe inserted through the rubble last night to send food for the workers. 

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami shared the visuals on social media platform X, formerly Twitter. He wrote that for the first time, the workers trapped inside the tunnel under construction in Silkyara, Uttarkashi were talked to through an endoscopic flexi camera and inquired about their well-being. The Chief Minister stated that all the workers are safe.

The visuals showed the labourers in their hard hats and work gear, waving to the camera, communicating that they are coping well, given their trying circumstances. The rescue officials were heard speaking to the workers through Walkie Talkies or radio handsets and were asking the workers to come in front of the camera.

The workers and the rescuers had their first hot meal in 10 days as khichdi in glass bottles were sent through the pipe last night. For the last 9 days, they had survived on dry fruits and water. Colonel Deepak Patil, the official in charge of rescue operations said that the workers would soon be sent mobiles and chargers through the pipe.

Meanwhile, the Centre has devised a five-option action plan that involves drilling from three sides to access the trapped workers.  Reportedly, two tunnels are being drilled horizontally from the right and left sides of the main tunnel, while a vertical shaft will be drilled from the top of the tunnel.

Furthermore, round-the-clock rescue work is being carried out by multiple agencies, including NDRF, SDRF, BRO, and the ITBP. On Monday, an international tunnelling expert team arrived and joined the efforts. A DRDO robotics team has also reached the spot.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attacked the Congress on the issues of Ayodhya Ram Mandir and reservation. He was speaking at an election rally in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar where he said that the Congress is engaged in the conspiracy to eliminate Hindu faith. The Prime Minister took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over the remarks of Sam Pitroda and said, Guru of Shehzada has told US that Ram temple construction is against the idea of India.

The Prime Minister also took a dig at the Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena faction and called the Uddhav camp duplicate Shiv Sena. He said those from duplicate Shiv Sena are speaking about burying him alive. He asked the people of Nandurbar to have a look at the mindset of Congress. He accused the grand old party for calling the Ram temple as anti-national. He pointed out that the people who organise sarkari iftari, beautify the graves of terrorists for appeasement are calling lord Ram, his temple and his followers, who go to Ram temple, as anti-national, he said.

While addressing the rally in Maharashtra’s Nandurbar, the prime minister said, he wanted to say it with utmost responsibility, be it SC, ST or OBC, vanchit ka jo adhikaar hai, Modi uska chowkidar hai. Jab Modi jaisa chowkidaar ho, kisne apni maa ka doodh piya hai jo aapka hak chheen sakta hai.

Speaking at the rally, PM Modi attacked Congress on the issue of reservation and said that he has asked the grand old party to give in writing that they will not finish the reservation of SC, ST and OBC. He further added that Congress’s silence shows they have a hidden agenda.

PM Modi said that he does not belong to a royal family like the family of the Congress and that he has grown up facing poverty. The prime minister added that for him, serving and helping the tribal community is like serving a member of his own family.

Supreme Court grants interim bail to Arvind Kejriwal till June 1 for election campaigns

Arvind Kejriwal will have to surrender and go back to jail on June 2, the Supreme Court said.

The Supreme Court on Friday granted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal interim bail till June 1. After hearing both parties earlier, a bench consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta issued the order.

In light of the current Lok Sabha election, the interim release was granted, however, the Enforcement Directorate objected, claiming that running for office was not a fundamental right. An interim bail till June 1 means Kejriwal will be out of jail when Delhi votes on May 25. Kejriwal will have to surrender on June 2. He will be in jail on June 4, the counting and the result day.

By evening, the comprehensive order with the terms of the bail will be uploaded, a source close to the development said.

In connection with the now-scrapped excise policy, Kejriwal was detained on March 21 in relation to a money laundering investigation. With the interim bail, he would be released from Tihar jail for more than a month.

However, Kejriwal’s lawyer, Shadan Farasat, said they will be attempting to secure Kejriwal’s release today, the paperwork take time, so Kejriwal might not actually leave Tihar today. Farasat said that the interim bail order does not limit his ability to campaign for the election.

The ED objected to the interim bail for electioneering, claiming that no previous cases existed where a politician had been given given interim bail to conduct campaigning. The Supreme Court reasoned that Kejriwal would not significantly benefit from being granted 21 days of interim bail.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court bench made a suggestion that Kejriwal might be granted interim release so he could run for office. It stated that Kejriwal would not be permitted to carry out any official responsibilities as chief minister if interim bail were granted to him. Kejriwal’s counsel Abhishek Manu, first disagreed but eventually agreed later.
