Uttarkashi, Jan 30 (PTI) Construction work at the Silkyara tunnel suspended since its partial collapse in November which left 41 labourers trapped in it for more than a fortnight has resumed after more than two months.
On the instructions of the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, construction work of protective nature has begun from both Barkot and Silkyara ends of the tunnel, an official here said.
Shuttering has started for the construction of a ‘centre wall’ of the tunnel while the work on an under construction bridge at the mouth of the tunnel from Silkyara side has also started.
