The situation remains tense, with rescue teams racing against time to locate the trapped workers before the weather deteriorates further.<\/p>\n<p>In an earlier update, it was reported that 57 workers were feared to be trapped in the avalanche. However, a correction was made by Suman, who clarified that two of the workers were on leave at the time of the incident. Thus, the correct number of workers affected by the avalanche stands at 55.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3581 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740774544521.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740774544521.jpg 615w, https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/FB_IMG_1740774544521-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The BRO camp, which is crucial for road maintenance and infrastructure development in the remote region, was struck by the avalanche earlier in the day.
