‘Our families don’t want us to return to Uttarakhand tunnel site’

Rescued workers from the Silkyara tunnel are now facing a dilemma whether to return to work due to the traumatic experience their families went through. Vishwajeet Kumar, a trapped worker, is considering leaving the tunneling sector to pursue farming or a less risky job in his hometown. Santosh Kumar, who will soon get married, is being opposed by his family to go back. Gabar Singh Negi, the most experienced worker, is also unsure whether to continue tunneling work or find another job due to his responsibilities.
