President of International Tunneling Underground Space Professor, Arnold Dix arrived at Silkyara tunnel and offered prayers at a temple that is built at the main entrance of the tunnel. He lauded the operations underway and said that the work being done is "systematic" and all those trapped will be taken out.
"We are going to get those men out. Great work is being done here. Our whole team is here and we are going to find a solution and get them out. A lot of work is being done here. It is important that not only the men rescued but also the men who are rescuing are safe. The whole world is helping. The team here is fantastic. The plans are looking fantastic. The work is very systematic. The food and the medication are being provided properly," Dix said.
