00:00 How did you succeed in this?

00:02 You have been here for many days and seen that this rescue operation was very challenging and difficult.

00:12 Many times we thought that we will reach our destination very soon and get the workers out.

00:20 But sometimes we faced such problems.

00:26 When we started working on this, we thought that we can easily remove the rubble from JCB and Paukland.

00:34 And the more we removed, the more rubble started coming from above.

00:38 Then we brought the pipe.

00:40 We collected the pipe from Haridwar and Dharadun.

00:43 We had to put the pipe.

00:45 So the pipe could not go ahead quickly after some time.

00:48 Then we brought the auger machine and got it airlifted from Indore, Hyderabad, Odisha.

00:58 We brought the machinery from many places.

01:02 But it got stuck after a long distance.

01:07 Then we started it again.

01:09 After that, the machine got stuck inside.

01:13 The pipe got damaged.

01:15 And it felt that the road was blocked from all sides.

01:19 Then the vertical drilling started from above.

01:23 It worked but it could not work that fast.

01:28 But then we felt that we should continue this work.

01:31 Then when the auger machine got damaged, we had to cut it and remove it.

01:35 And it was almost 48 meters to cut and remove each meter.

01:42 So it was very challenging.

01:44 First we had to cut the fan, then the machine.

01:48 The people who worked on this, the gas cutter, the technicians,

01:55 they worked very hard.

01:57 And they took out the whole machine.

01:59 After taking out the machine, they decided that the manual work will be done.

02:04 And the diggers used to go ahead and check the manual work.

02:09 Then they started the pushing work.

02:11 So it was very challenging.

02:14 I thank all the people who contributed to this.

02:18 And especially our Prime Minister.

02:22 I have never heard that a Prime Minister has not done a rescue operation even for a day.

02:30 And he has done every detail of it, from the smallest detail to the largest detail.

02:35 How to work on it, how to encourage us, how to encourage the experts involved.

02:45 He guided us in all the things.

02:48 Because of that, we were able to complete this difficult mission.

02:52 Baba Boknag was also very kind.

02:54 With his grace, this mission was successful.

02:56 Sir, one important question is that in this Durgam mountainous area,

02:59 India's greatest strength is to connect everything from all over.

03:03 Even now, you can see, the machine is connected from the Srinkhla.

03:06 It seems as if the whole of India is involved in collecting the resources.

03:09 Look, all this is possible only when our respected Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji

03:14 monitors the whole mission every day.

03:18 I mean, in his daily programs, one of his main programs would be to monitor this mission every day.

03:27 Because of that, all the machinery came from all over the country, experts came, experts from all over the world came.

03:32 This is possible only when, in this remote area, there were floods earlier as well.

03:36 But this kind of concern, this kind of monitoring, was never seen.

03:43 This time, as the Prime Minister, he has taken care of his family, his children, his son, his daughters,

03:50 the way parents take care of their children, in the same way, the Prime Minister has taken care of this whole project.

03:55 The whole world is praising this operation.

03:57 How do you see the future of this tunnel?

03:59 And as the Prime Minister, you have visited many places and yesterday you had camped for many hours there.

04:04 Now, you won't go there without rescuing people.

04:07 No, yesterday, in the morning, I was there till 10 am.

04:11 And after 10 am, I came back at 1 am.

04:14 And from 1 am to around 1.30 pm, I left.

04:20 And around 9.30 pm, when the mission was completed, I came out.

04:26 So, I think, as we have said earlier, that we will monitor all our projects.

04:33 And the Indian government has also decided to conduct an audit of all the projects.

04:39 So, as the ecology and the economy will continue, we will move forward on that basis.

04:47 All the people are healthy.

04:49 All the people are healthy and their health and their body are better thanks to God.

04:57 And the oxygen and water that we provide them and the food and other necessities that we send them,

05:04 I understood when I thought that the whole rescue mission will last for 3 hours.

05:10 It will last for 3 hours because it will take at least 5 to 10 minutes to bring one person to the stretcher.

05:15 The NDRF and STRF will take him up.

05:18 But as soon as the pipe went inside and the NDRF and STRF started their work,

05:22 in less than half an hour, the whole mission was completed.

05:26 All the surveying brothers came running.

05:28 So, there was no place for happiness because our family members, our brothers were healthy.

05:32 Their relatives were happy in their faces.

05:35 There was satisfaction in their faces.

05:37 And they were saying that they had faith from the first day that nothing would happen to us

05:41 because the day you started talking, our worries were gone.

05:45 We were restless inside.

05:46 Last question. You are the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand.

05:48 You have shown the youth capability of Uttarakhand.

05:50 Uttarakhand is a youth state and this state has shown great capability.

05:54 Yes, definitely.

05:55 Our Himalaya inspires us to stay strong like the Himalayas and to move forward like the Himalayas.
