In Telangana, the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse remains under investigation, with a National Centre for Seismology (NCS) team assessing geological conditions. Despite ongoing rescue operations, persistent water seepage continues to hinder efforts, and the missing workers remain untraced. Meanwhile, the Telangana government intensified rescue efforts by restoring key equipment, including a conveyor belt and additional excavators. In Himachal Pradesh, heavy snowfall has left high-altitude regions like Lahaul-Spiti and Pangi cut off for the seventh consecutive day, with 158 roads still blocked in Lahaul-Spiti and 76 in Chamba. While authorities are engaged in large-scale snow clearance, adverse weather continues to disrupt connectivity and impact daily life in remote areas. Stay with TOI for live updates
