So today, four divers, NDRF and Army divers, had gone down. They were able to retrieve one body from the bottom of the shaft. Now we have arterial tunnels going on every side.
" Singh further added, "The ROV (remotely operated vehicle) has done one round; the Navy ROV has done one round of the entire shaft. The ROV has both photography and sonar capabilities. That has not found anything.
Now Navy divers are going down to the shaft. We will first clear out the shaft and then start entering the tunnels. In the meanwhile, efforts are on to continuously dewater the well.
