A catastrophic tunnel collapse in Sikkim's 'Head Race Tunnel' has triggered a desperate search for a geologist from Kottayam, who is believed to be trapped inside. The incident occurred following an explosion, which led to a landslide that blocked the tunnel's entrance.

This disaster has ignited concerns over safety measures and regulatory oversight in such construction projects. Citizens are left questioning: What safety protocols were in place? Were proper precautions taken to prevent such a tragedy?

As rescue operations continue, the family of the trapped geologist and the public demand accountability from the NHPC and other authorities involved. Will they take responsibility for this incident and ensure such negligence does not happen again?

The urgency of the situation calls for immediate answers and action to prevent further loss of life. As reported by The Hindu.
