Silkyara Tunnel Project

The work on Silkyara Tunnel Project in Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, spanning four and a half kilometers, is set to resume. The tunnel made headlines after 41 workers were trapped when the tunnel collapsed on Diwali day. According to the Ministry of Road and Transport this is a crucial segment of the government's extensive 900 km 'Char Dham Yatra All Weather Road' project. The pause in construction is to facilitate a safety audit and repair of damaged sections. Needless to say this safety audit will only be eyewash and the government has in the past ignored the genuine concerns of the environmentalists in building this road.
