Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Wednesday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi got “very emotional” during the cabinet meeting after learning that the 41 labourers trapped inside the Uttarkashi tunnel were evacuated after a gruelling rescue operation of 17 days.
The rescue operation to evacuate the labourers trapped in the Silkyara tunnel since November 12 concluded on Tuesday evening.
The Union Minister while briefing media about the decisions taken during the cabinet meeting held on Tuesday night said that even during election campaigns, PM Modi used to take stock of the trapped workers at least twice a day.
