Expert panel formed by state govt has warned that several pockets of the town are sinking due to man-made and natural causes. Locals say report did not factor in Tapovan tunnel.
13 workers have so far been pulled out of the sludge-choked tunnel at Tapovan where a large number of people were at work when the tragedy occurred following a flash flood.
Around 25-35 people have been trapped in the tunnel for over four days in the wake of the Chamoli glacier disaster in Uttarakhand, with agencies racing against time to rescue them.
The workers have been trapped ever since a flash flood battered villages and hydro-power projects in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district Sunday, claiming 34 lives, while 170 remain missing.
The rescue operation at the NTPC hydel project site, which bore the brunt of the disaster, has been going on since Sunday after the flood in the Alaknanda river system in Chamoli.
