– The safety concerns of the men and the instability of the area is a barrier. – The equipment broke down while drilling horizontally. – The vibrations of the equipment cause more debris to fall. – Drilling from both ends of the tunnel can harm the workers.

– Rat- Hole mining is being done to rescue the workers. – Narrow pits will be dug that are deep enough for one person to fit in. – Six miners will manually dig their way by removing the debris. – They will most probably reach the workers in 24-36 hours.
