The tunnel has taken two years to be fully prepared, and when will this tunnel be opened to the public.
The Silkara Tunnel in Uttarakhand Uttarakash Region has been completed on the Yamunotri Expressway in Uttarakhand. Work on the Silkara Tunnel began on July 9, 2018, but the tunnel became the focus of attention on November 12, 2023, when 41 workers were trapped there due to debris inside the tunnel. However, despite all the difficulties encountered, the rescuers did not lose their courage, and after 17 days, like a miracle, all workers were safely eliminated. The work also stopped for several days. But today, the accident happened 522 days ago and the Skyara tunnel was ready, which has been inspected by state CM Pushkar Singh Dhami and officials. The St. Char dham yatra of Uttarakhand will start on April 30, 15 days later. But you will not be able to use this tunnel now. The tunnel has taken two years to be fully prepared, and when will this tunnel be opened to the public. Then, this will be a new record in Uttarakhand.
Faith was also used to save 41 workers trapped in the silky tunnel in Uttarkashi when the rescue operation took away workers trapped in the tunnel facing repeated obstacles. Therefore, a great temple of Baba Baukh Nag Devta was also built at the entrance of the tunnel.

– Not only Uttarakhand
