Search for Trapped Workers in Srisailam Left Bank Canal Tunnel Intensifies with Advanced Robotic Technology.

Nagarkurnool, Telangana:

The search operation to rescue seven workers trapped inside the partially collapsed Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel entered a critical phase with the deployment of an advanced autonomous hydraulic-powered robot on Saturday. This cutting-edge technology is being used to expedite the process of removing debris and soil blocking access to the trapped individuals.

The robot, equipped with special machinery, is designed to remove large amounts of soil and debris efficiently. In addition, the operation is supported by a 30 HP capacity liquid ring vacuum pump and a vacuum tank machine, which are crucial in the rapid clearance of soil and other materials inside the tunnel. These combined efforts aim to accelerate the ongoing rescue operation that has been underway since the collapse on February 22.

According to an official statement, the use of the robot allows for the removal of up to 620 cubic meters of soil and muck per hour through the use of a conveyor belt system, significantly speeding up the process and increasing the chances of locating the trapped individuals.

Authorities and rescue teams are working tirelessly, coordinating with experts in tunneling and robotics to ensure the safe retrieval of the trapped workers. The operation has gained national attention as the community remains hopeful for a swift and successful rescue.

As the situation unfolds, officials continue to monitor the progress closely, with the hope that the advanced technology will assist in overcoming the difficult conditions inside the tunnel and bring a successful resolution to the ongoing crisis.
