A team of Indian army rescued labourers trapped while carrying out clearance of a choked stream in Khongsang on Friday.
Three labourers involved in clearing mud and debris that had accumulated and choked the flow of stream under minor bridge 60 (near Tunnel 11) between Thingou (8 km West of Khongsang) and Khongsang railway station were trapped when the debris gave way, causing a rush of water, mud, and rocks sweeping away the earthmoving equipment.
Upon receiving information about the incident, soldiers of Territorial Army swiftly deployed a search and rescue team from their Company Operating Base (COB) at Thingou.
The team, led by one officer, one junior commissioned officer and 10 other ranks, successfully rescued two workers.
