A tunnel collapse in Sikkim has claimed the lives of four workers from Jharkhand at the Teesta Stage-VI project site linked to NHPC. The incident has drawn attention in both states as the victims' bodies are being transported back to their native places.
According to the available details, the four men were working at the site when the tunnel collapse occurred. The tragedy has added to concerns around safety at major infrastructure and hydropower-linked construction projects in difficult terrain.
Authorities in Jharkhand have begun coordinating support for the affected families as the bodies are brought home. The state has also announced assistance and compensation for the relatives of those who died in the accident.
The focus now remains on completing the return of the victims to their families and extending official help in the aftermath of the Sikkim tunnel collapse. The incident has once again highlighted the human cost of hazardous work at large project sites.
