Nagarkurnool, Telangana, March 11: In a significant development, robots have been deployed to assist in the search for seven individuals who remain trapped inside the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel since February 22.
A team from a Hyderabad-based robotics company, accompanied by a robot, entered the tunnel on Tuesday morning to aid the rescue efforts. Alongside them, 110 rescue personnel also ventured into the site.
Given the hazardous conditions inside the tunnel, including water accumulation and heavy slush, the Telangana government has opted to use robotic technology to minimize risks to rescue workers.
