"This Is New India": Akshay Kumar "Overwhelmed" After Rescue Of Workers Trapped In Himalayan Tunnel
Akshay Kumar expressed happiness and pride, applauding the rescue mission.
In some good and happy news, 41 Indian workers who were trapped inside a collapsed Himalayan tunnel for 17 days, were finally rescued. There were some dramatic scenes as the workers finally emerged from the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel entrance on stretchers. The rescue operation lasted for more than 400 hours, and the mission was filled with many obstacles and delays.
However, finally on Tuesday night, the workers were pulled through an escape pipe with a specialist rat-hole mining team manually drilling the final stretch after a mechanical drill breakdown.
In the latest entertainment news, 'Mission Raniganj' actor Akshay Kumar took to X (formerly Twitter) to express happiness and pride, applauding the rescue mission.
"Am completely overwhelmed with happiness and relief to know of the rescue of 41 trapped men. A big salute to every member of the rescue team. Kamaal kar diya. This is a new India and we all feel so proud. Jai Hind," Akshay Kumar wrote.
