Rescue teams were battling treacherous terrain, blinding snowfall and freezing temperatures in a desperate race against time to save the trapped workers

In Uttarakhand's Chamoli district, 33 out of 55 Border Roads Organisation workers have been rescued from an avalanche, leaving 22 still trapped. Rescue efforts face challenges due to adverse weather conditions and the threat of further avalanches.

Following the avalanche, a massive rescue operation has been launched. Teams from the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), and the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) have been deployed to the site.
