Uttarakhand |12 Rat-Hole Miners 27 Hours of Digging, 6-Inch of Lifeline: Rat Miners Share Experience

Nasir, Rat Miner, shares how the #UttarakhandRescue ops was executed

Firoz, Nasir, Naseem, Munna, Monu, Irshad… 12 such ‘rat-miners’ from Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh had asked for 36 hours to dig their way to the 41 men stuck inside the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi since November 12. Ultimately, they did the job within 27 hours, leading to triumph for the human spirit in the long tunnel rescue operation.

But there were other heroes too. One was the six-inch pipe that reached the labourers on November 20, bringing them the much-needed communication line and solid food, which improved their morale and did not let the spirits down. The other key factor was that two of the stuck labourers, Gabbar Singh and Shaba Ahmed, took the leadership role inside the tunnel and motivated other workers and ensured that the team-spirit and morale remained high.
