PM Modi, President Murmu and other ministers tweeted to congratulate the rescue teams and expressed happiness the success of the operation.&nbsp;

There was hugging and cheers as the ordeal ended. Outside the tunnel some people chanted &ldquo;Har Har Mahadev&rdquo; and &ldquo;Bharat Mata ki Jai&rdquo; Ambulances which had lined up at the tunnel ferried the workers to a community health centre where a special 41-bed ward had been set up.
Before this, the workers were given a quick medical checkup as they emerged out of the steel pipe.
CM Dhami said no worker was in a critical situation. But the labourers will be kept under medical observation for some time before being sent home, he said.
He said the youngest of the worker was rescued first.
A portion of the tunnel on the Char Dham route collapsed on November 12, blocking the exit of the workers who were inside.
Food, medicines and other essentials were sent to them through a six-inch pipe pushed through the rubble of the collapsed portion.
Relief was felt far and wide.
Over the phone, Jharkhand&rsquo;s Sunil, who was camping in Silkyara, spoke to PTI on the rescue of his brother Anil.
"Finally, God heard us. My brother could be rescued. I am with him in an ambulance on the way to hospital," he said in a choked voice.
As the rescue appeared imminent earlier in the day, families stationed in Silkyara were allowed inside the tunnel with their belongings &ndash; so that they could travel with their loved ones to the medical centre.

Gabbar Singh Negi played a crucial role in keeping up the morale of the other 40 workers trapped with him in Uttarakhand's Silkyara tunnel for 17 days.

Gabbar Singh Negi, the voice of trapped tunnel labourers

Gabbar Singh Negi played a crucial role in keeping up the morale of the other 40 workers trapped with him in Uttarakhand's Silkyara tunnel for 17 days.

Gabbar Singh Negi's house in the Lalpani area of the town suddenly came to life on Tuesday night as the news about of the safe evacuation of 41 workers trapped at Sikyara tunnel reached his kin who had been glued to the TV set waiting the whole day for the good news.
Gabbar Singh, who was among the trapped workers, was lauded by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami for keeping up the morale of his fellow workers during the rescue operation which lasted 17 days.
Whenever Dhami spoke to the trapped workers during the operation, Gabbar Singh came on the line on their behalf to give him updates on their health condition.
As the news about their evacuation broke on TV, his relatives clapped for him, lit diyas, and burst firecrackers to celebrate his freedom.
There had been no Diwali celebrations at his home this year as the tunnel collapsed on the morning of the festival of lights.
"Our Diwali was celebrated on Tuesday night as we heard the news. I thank god for what he has done for us. My husband has won the battle of life with the almighty's blessings. I also thank the prime minister and the chief minister for throwing all their might into the operation to secure their safe exit," Gabbar Singh's wife Yashoda Devi told PTI.
"It was such a relief when he informed us on the phone about his well-being," she said with tears in her eyes.
His elder son Vikas Negi, studying in class 12, praised the Central and state governments and said they had given a big gift to the family by returning his father safely.
Gabbar Singh's father-in-law, 80-year-old Dilip Singh Choudhary, who had come to his daughter Yashoda Devi's house after the incident, said he had never heard of or seen such a successful rescue operation in his life.
"The speed and manner in which they worked is incomparable," he said.
Sunita Kotnala, a neighbour, said she salutes the patience and courage of the workers who held themselves together despite being stuck in the tunnel for days.
Gabbar Singh, originally a resident of Charekh village of Dugadda block, came to Lalpani (Kotdwar) about 12 years ago and settled with his family.
Yashoda Devi said her husband has been working in big construction companies for almost 20 years. Before this, he also worked in the construction of the Delhi Metro.
He also worked on various construction projects in Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. He went to Uttarkashi in 2018 to work with construction company Navayuva where he works as a foreman, she said.&nbsp;

Delhi air quality improves, pollution curbs under GRAP Stage III eased

Following the improvement in Delhi-NCR's air quality, Centre has eased certain curbs imposed to contain pollution in the region.&nbsp;

The Centre on Tuesday ordered the revocation of restrictions under Stage-III of GRAP in the entire NCR with immediate effect, following improvement in air quality.
The Commission for Air Quality Management in National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM), a statutory body responsible for formulating strategies to combat pollution in the region, met on Tuesday in view of the significant improvement in the overall air quality of Delhi-NCR.
The air quality forecasts by the India Meteorological Department/Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology do not indicate the average air quality of Delhi to move to &lsquo;severe&rsquo; category in the coming days for which forecast is available, the CAQM said.
The Centre's pollution control panel had invoked the Stage III restrictions on November 2, directing a halt on non-essential construction work, stone crushing and mining in Delhi-NCR. Under this stage, restrictions were also imposed on the operation of BS III petrol and BS IV diesel four-wheelers in Delhi, Gurugram, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Gautam Budh Nagar.
The city's 24-hour average AQI, recorded at 4 pm every day, improved from 395 on Monday to 312 on Tuesday.&nbsp;

As 41 trapped workers were pulled out of the collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand on November 28 after 17 days,  the global media hailed India's rescue operation.

'Human labour triumphed over machinery': how world media covered Uttarakhand tunnel rescue

As 41 trapped workers were pulled out of the collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand on November 28 after 17 days, &nbsp;the global media hailed India's rescue operation.

As rescuers in India on Tuesday successfully pulled out all 41 construction workers trapped in a collapsed mountain tunnel in Uttarakhand after 17 days, the global media hailed the rescue operation and provided live coverage of the dramatic development.
"Outside the tunnel, there have been celebrations at the news of the first man coming out of the tunnel," the BBC reported while providing regular updates on the rescue operation.
It uploaded on its website a photograph that showed Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Dhami and Union Minister VK Singh meeting the first worker rescued from the tunnel.
"Video footage from the scene showed Pushkar Singh Dhami, chief minister of Uttarakhand state meeting the workers, who appeared to be in good health, as they were removed from the tunnel amid jubilant scenes," CNN reported.
The first workers were removed following a series of agonizing setbacks, during which rescue efforts were halted when the heavy machinery used to drill through the debris broke down, forcing workers to partially dig by hand and adopt other riskier methods to bring them to safety, it said.
The evacuation of the men to safety began more than six hours after rescuers broke through to end an ordeal that began on November 12 when the tunnel caved in, Qatar-based news channel Al-Jazeera reported.
It said the ambulances with their lights flashing lined up at the mouth of the tunnel to transport the workers to a hospital about 30km away.
"The labourers are being pulled out through a passageway made of welded pipes that rescuers had previously pushed through dirt and rocks," it said.
British daily 'The Guardian' reported that the dramatic scenes of the first men emerging on stretchers from the entrance of the Silkyara-Barkot tunnel came after over 400 hours, during which the major rescue operation hit multiple obstacles, delays and false promises of imminent rescue.
"Human labour triumphed over machinery as the specialists managed to manually drill through the final 12 metres of rubble to reach the men. An 'escape passage' pipe was inserted, enabling the rescuers &ndash; carrying wheeled stretchers and oxygen cylinders &ndash; to enter and finally reach those inside," the paper said in its detailed report.
Military engineers and miners drill 'rat hole' through debris to complete a painstaking extraction mission, said London-based daily 'The Telegraph' in its lead story.
A portion of the tunnel collapsed on November 12, blocking the exit for the workers who were inside.
Food, medicines and other essentials were sent to them through a six-inch pipe pushed through the rubble of the collapsed portion.

Uttarkashi tunnel success: PM Modi speaks to rescued workers over phone

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to the 41 rescued workers over the phone and enquired about their well-being.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauded a successful operation to rescue 41 workers trapped in an under-construction road tunnel in Uttarakhand on Tuesday, asserting that everyone involved in the mission has created an amazing example of humanity and teamwork.
Modi also spoke to the rescued construction workers over the phone and enquired about their well-being, officials said.
The prime minister said the multi-agency rescue exercise has made everyone emotional.
In a post on X soon after the workers were brought out of the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi, Modi saluted the spirit of those involved in the operation and said their courage and resolve have given a new lease of life to the 41 labourers.
"Everyone involved in the mission has created an amazing example of humanity and teamwork," he said.
Addressing the 41 rescued workers, Modi said their courage and patience have inspired everyone as he wished them good health and well-being.
"It is a matter of great satisfaction that these friends of ours will meet their dear ones after a long wait," the prime minister said, asserting that the patience and courage of their family members cannot be praised enough.
Later, in a post on X, Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) IT department head Amit Malviya took a swipe at the opposition and said, "Just so that the Opposition ecosystem further stews in their bile, let it be known that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the head of the National Disaster Management Authority, which oversaw the arduous Silkyara rescue operation." Modi is the man who deserves all the credit for the successful rescue operation, he added.
The rescue workers on Tuesday evening pulled out all the 41 workers who got trapped after a portion of the Silkyara tunnel, part of the Centre's ambitious Char Dham project, collapsed due to a landslide on November 12.

The United States issued more than 1.4 lakh visas to Indian students last year. India has become the the largest source country for foreign students in the US.

US issued record 1.4 lakh visas to Indian students last year: Official

The United States issued more than 1.4 lakh visas to Indian students last year. India has become the largest source country for foreign students in the US.

As part of the Biden administration's endeavour to promote people-to-people ties with India, the US issued more than 1,40,000 visas to Indian students last year and is taking several steps to reduce the visa appointment wait period.
In an interview to PTI, Julie Stufft, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Visa Services, said US missions in India worked six, seven days a week to make sure that students could be interviewed before their classes started.
This year, the US made a huge effort to concentrate on the demand coming out of India, she said.
"We are really proud of what we have done in India this year. I think for the first time in history, we set a goal to issue one million visas in India and not only did we accomplish that, but it was done several months in advance. So, the number will go way beyond that.
"There are record-setting numbers this year for workers, crew members and students applying in India to come to the United States," she added.
Stufft further said, "We specifically made sure that we saw the students who were applying coming out of India. India is now the largest source country for foreign students in the United States, as well as many other visa categories. That's a very important one for us. We have also had a lot of cases where the interview was waived, so no interview for Indian travellers who have previously travelled and are now going back to the US." Last year, the US issued a record over 1,40,000 visas to Indian students, she said.
"For students who are applying in India, I would say the biggest thing is that the missions there have worked six, seven days a week to interview students to make sure that everyone can be interviewed before their classes start. The amount of effort and importance that we place on Indian students coming to the US is born out in the visa process. We want to make sure everyone has that chance," she said.
The US, Stufft said, is working on taking several steps to reduce the visa appointment wait time in India, which is still a bit high.
"I hope it will be (coming down) this year, meaning this fiscal year for us. But we are sending huge numbers of officers to India to manage the wait time and move them around the country as needed. I mean, it has gotten much better but it still needs to come down quite a bit," she said.
"We had a state visit recently. Everyone from the president of course, to Ambassador (Eric) Garcetti and the secretary of state is so committed to making sure that the people-to-people ties between our two countries expand. We are carrying that out in the visa process. So, we really expect more innovations and a much quicker process in the future," Stufft told PTI.
The State Department official said anyone who is interested in travelling to the US for any reason should apply as soon as possible.
"If you are travelling for work-related reasons, there's another special avenue to use. There is a special channel to use so that business-related visas are also prioritised. Bear with us, I would say as we get through this.
"India is unique because it represents the highest number of visas in several categories. Not just visitors, not just students, not just maritime crew members but highly skilled work. I mean, it is a tremendous demand across the board for us. So our priority is to get all of those wait times down," she said.
During a media round table with a group of foreign journalists organised by the Foreign Press Centre, Stufft said the US has issued more than 10.5 million visas in 2023 so far, which is 2 million more than what it had anticipated and is almost hitting the highest-ever level at its overseas missions.
"Half of our overseas missions set their own record for that country for adjudications of visas in that country. We set records for visa adjudication, for work visas and for student visas as well in some (other) categories," she said.
For 2024, the US is still working very hard on reducing wait times, Stufft said.
"In some overseas locations, we still have very high wait times, some exceeding a year still for one category of visa, which is a first-time visitor, someone who needs an interview for their visa.
"All other categories have low wait times globally, but we are very focused on the first-time visitor interview wait times and what's very interesting to us is that many of the places where we have set records for visa production this year are the same places where we still have really high wait times. This just indicates a very high level of demand and we are going to use this year to really get control of that in these five or six places with very high wait times," she said.

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

'No one can stop CAA': Amit Shah launches BJP's 2024 campaign for West Bengal

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Wednesday that the Central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and no one can stop it.
Addressing a big rally here to launch the BJP's Lok Sabha campaign, Shah launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issues of appeasement, infiltration, corruption and political violence, alleging she has "destroyed" the state.
Banerjee has been opposing the CAA due to her support to infiltration, he asserted, adding that a state with so much infiltration cannot develop.
He urged people to throw out her government by electing the BJP in the next assembly polls in 2026 and asked them to lay its foundation by supporting the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
He said, "Give so many seats to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls that Modi ji says I have become PM due to Bengal." The Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress won the last assembly polls by "rigging" but the BJP jumped to 77 seats from zero, he said, calling upon people to end the TMC's alleged misrule of corruption, infiltration, and political violence by electing a government conducive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda of development.
Lauding the turnout at the rally, he said this indicates the people's mood and claimed that the BJP will come to power with two-third majority in the state in 2026.
The BJP's performance in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will create the foundation of its win in the assembly polls, he said.
Turning to the contentious CAA issue, he said Banerjee has been opposing it but it is a law of the country and no one can stop its implementation, which has been in a limbo as the central government is yet to frame its rules amid the opposition's strong stand against the law.
Parliament had passed the law in 2019 They, Shah said in a reference to the intended beneficiaries of the law, have as much a right to citizenship as anyone else. Banerjee has once stalled Parliament over the issue of infiltration but she is now keeping mum, he said, claiming that no one can infiltrate into Assam after the BJP was voted to power in the state.
"Assam has done a commendable job in stopping infiltration. But in West Bengal, infiltration persists due to the TMC government's vote-bank politics. Mamata Banerjee is opposing CAA, but let me say it clearly that CAA will be implemented in the country. No one can stop the implementation of CAA," Shah declared.
Hitting out at Banerjee over the suspension of the Leader of Opposition in Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari, he said she may try to silence him but cannot silence people of the state.
Her time as the state's chief minister is over, he said, often referring to her as 'didi'.
Shah dared Banerjee to suspend from her party some of its leaders arrested in corruption cases and said she cannot do it as she apprehended that they may implicate her nephew, a reference to MP Abhishek Banerjee.
"The people of Bengal are fed up with the cut money and syndicates of TMC," he said.
The home minister said as many as 212 BJP workers have been killed in West Bengal in political violence and added that people will avenge these murders with their votes in the 2026 assembly polls.
Banerjee has destroyed West Bengal, Shah alleged, citing political violence, corruption, appeasement in state. The state's development is Modi's top priority but it can only happen when there is a government conducive to the prime minister's agenda, he said.
He urged people to ensure a big win for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
"We must ensure that the BJP forms the next government in West Bengal. To achieve this, we must win the maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from the state in the next Parliamentary elections," Shah emphasised, echoing sentiments expressed during an April rally when he set a target of winning over 35 seats in the state.
The union minister was addressing the rally at the historic Esplanade, with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in the state. The party had won 18, its highest ever, of the state's 42 seats in 2019.
At the rally Shah was joined by the state party leadership and Union ministers from the state.&nbsp;

Amit Shah sounded the poll bugle for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Kolkata on Wednesday.&nbsp;
Attacking the ruling TMC and Mamata Banerjee, Amit Shah said that if Bengal wants to uproot the 'corrupt' party from the state then it has to elect Narendra Modi as prime minister again in 2024.&nbsp;
He said the process of removing Mamata Banerjee from power in the 2026 West Bengal elections has to begin with the election of Modi as PM again in 2024.&nbsp;
Shah also targeted the Bengal chief minister for opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act and accused her of minority appeasement.&nbsp;

Rescue workers entered rescue pipes to manually cut metal girders after machines hit metal girders in the debris

The operation to rescue the workers trapped in Uttarakhand's Silkyara tunnel has been going on for 17 days. The delay in bringing out the workers was partly due to the obstructions faced by the drilling machines while clearing the debris.&nbsp;
Auger and drilling machines kept hitting metal obstructions in the debris, stalling the rescue work.&nbsp;
This led to manual intervention with rescue workers entering the the narrow pipes pushed through the rescue holes to cut the metal structures using gas cutters.&nbsp;
According to the Indian Express, on the 12th day of the rescue operation, the teams faced a similar situation.&nbsp;
Praveen Yadav, an underground tunnelling expert for Trenchless Engineering, told Indian Express that several people tried to enter the narrow pipes but could not in the absence of a proper oxygen supply.&nbsp;
He volunteered to go in but his boss asked him to wait for the National Disaster Response Force personnel to try.&nbsp;
Yadav told the Indian Express that NDRF jawans were to big and the rescue pipes too small so he ultimately went in with two other people.&nbsp;
Yadav said he took a gas cutter, two bottles of water and crawled into the pipes on his knees and elbows.&nbsp;

He said that sometimes the work requires him to go inside those pipes two or three times a day.&nbsp;
Yadav and his aides found the metal girders and cut them using gas cutters. They then removed the cut pieces.&nbsp;
He said that the process generated a lot of heat and they faced the risk of sustaining burn injuries.&nbsp;
