UTTARKASHI: Playing hide and seek, and other games has enabled the 41 workers trapped inside the collapsed Silkyara Bend – Barkot Tunnel to keep their mental health in check as said by Uttarkashi district’s Chief Medical Officer RCF Panwar, on Friday. The CMO and his team have been in constant touch with the trapped workers.
Panwar is leading a team of 20 doctors to enable the construction workers keep their heads about themselves, while regularly speaking with them to keep them mentally healthy.
“To keep their morale high and their mental health strong, doctors and psychiatrists have been regularly speaking with them and consulting them on various issues to help them. A team of 20 doctors have been called at the collapse site,” said the CMO.

Panwar also added that the mental health of the trapped workers is still fairly strong and they are doing well, while two psychiatrists Dr Abhishek and Dr Rohit Gondwal from Dehradun and Uttarkashi, respectively, have also been called to the spot to engage with the trapped workers.
The team had also prepared a report that stated that the mental health of the trapped workers is healthy and stable. It also mentioned that their mental health is strong. On the other hand, another set of 18 doctors are also part of the rescue team who will immediately treat the workers for injuries as and when they escape the collapse site.
The doctors will be stationed at the Uttarkashi tunnel till all workers are rescued.
Presently, the rescue operations have been delayed once again as the auger machine malfunctioned midway while drilling a hole to get the trapped workers out of the tunnel.
The tunnel had collapsed on November 12 and for the past 10 days, there has been continuous effort to get the trapped workers out.
