CM Dhami, on Wednesday, expressed his happiness on the successful rescue of trapped 41 workers from the Uttarkashi tunnel.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself was being constantly updated on the mission and did not miss the updates even a single day.
The health condition of all workers is being monitored. All of them are doing well, CM Dhami told media.
We have given an amount to each worker as an award for the courage they have shown. As per the advice of doctors, all the workers will undergo health check-up at AIIMS Rishikesh, the Chief Minister further added.
The Uttarakhand Chief Minister also interacted with relatives of the workers rescued from the Silkyara tunnel, in Chinyalisaur.
