In Telangana, it’s a race against time to saved trapped workers of the SLCB project. It’s a reminder of what happened when 41 workers were trapped in the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarkashi. Then, 12 unknown rat miners shot to fame and national hero status when they played a key role in the rescue. Felicitations followed as did promises of work. Two years later, they are out of jobs and hope.
