Tunnel Workerโ€™s Father Dies Hours Before Rescue

RanchiA 70-year-old man from Jharkhand, Baset alias Barsa Murmu, reportedly succumbed to anxiety just hours before his son, Bhaktu, was rescued from the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand.

Trapped in the tunnelโ€™s collapse, Bhaktu and 40 other workers were evacuated on Tuesday night. Murmu, a resident of Bahda village, had been distressed since learning about the tunnel collapse on November 12. He passed away at 8 am on Tuesday, approximately 12 hours before Bhaktuโ€™s rescue.

Local officials have not confirmed the cause of death, but it is suspected to be a heart attack. Murmuโ€™s family described his anxious wait for information about his sonโ€™s rescue, and his mother, Piti Murmu, has been in shock since then.
