Rescue teams have recovered the body of one of the eight men trapped in the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel. Experts and various agencies, including the NDRF and Indian Army, have been working tirelessly for over two weeks to save the trapped engineers and laborers since February 22.

A body has been recovered as rescue teams continue efforts to save eight men trapped in the collapsed section of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel. The operation, ongoing for over two weeks, has involved the use of cadaver dogs and expertise from the NDRF, Indian Army, and other agencies to locate the trapped individuals.

The body, discovered on Sunday, is currently being transported to a hospital for further examination, a police official confirmed. The state government had previously deployed Kerala police dogs trained to detect human presence, aiding rescue personnel in their search efforts.
