NAGARKURNOOL: The conveyor belt at the partially collapsed SLBC tunnel, under which eight people are trapped for the past 11 days, was repaired and made operational on Tuesday. It will now make it easier for rescue personnel to shift muck and about 800 tonne of debris can be brought out per hour, officials said.

The conveyor belt was damaged following the accident on February 22.

Observing that drilling was underway at places identified for human presence by Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), the officials said plans are on to quickly shift the debris out using the conveyor belt. The representatives of the National Centre for Seismology in Delhi also joined the rescue efforts, they said.
