NEW DELHI, Dec 2: Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami today expressed gratitude to PM Modi for extending “adequate resources and human assistance” for the rescue operation in the Silkyara tunnel.
Addressing to the media persons, CM Dhami said “safely evacuating 41 workers in the Silkyara tunnel accident is a big achievement. This rescue operation could be completed successfully only due to the guidance of respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Thanks to the expert rescue agencies sent by the Central Government, we were able to rescue the workers safely. The entire country was praying for 41 lives for 17 days.”
He said that if the Prime Minister had not provided adequate resources and human assistance in the Silkyara tunnel issue, this campaign would not have been successful. This accident happened on the morning of Diwali on 12th November. The same day in the evening, PM Modi called me and took complete information about the incident. Our priority was to rescue all the 41 workers trapped in the tunnel safely at any cost. With his inspiration, the State Government vigorously engaged in the rescue operation. The morale of the teams engaged in rescue increased.
“The PM had assured us there would be no dearth of resources and experts to accomplish the mission. From the beginning till the end, the Prime Minister guided and kept taking information from moment to moment,” Dhami said.
CM Dhami said that it is the result of the policy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi that India has not only saved its citizens in times of crisis but has also saved the lives of many foreign citizens by running successful operations in water, land and sky and has shown humanity to the world and has presented many examples of tremendous teamwork.
The latest example is the safe return of stranded Indians after the war between Hamas and Israel, stopping the war by both the countries for the Indians in the Russia-Ukraine war, the safe return of our citizens has become a guarantee during the tenure of the Prime Minister.
