MoRTH Issues Guidelines After Silkyara Tunnel Collapse

Two years after a big tunnel called the Silkyara Bend-Barkot Tunnel collapsed and trapped 41 workers, the government's road ministry made new rules to stop such accidents.

The rules say that before building tunnels, detailed studies about the ground and possible risks must be done.

They also say that the people in charge of building tunnels should be ready to handle emergencies.

The ministry has completed many tunnels and is building more, so these rules are very important.

The rules talk about different ways to build tunnels and how to keep workers safe.

They also say that in case of an accident, there should be plans and trained people to help.
