Update – Sujith returned to a boring place and was restored afterwards.
Another update from the rescue team with a press conference of Defense Minister RadhaKrishnan. He explained the difficulties he had in breaking through solid rocks, and confirmed that the powerful L & T machine was the hardest rock to sell. He said that it can take 12 hours more to complete drilling only, because he can not dig more than 30-40 centimeters per hour.
When asked whether to discard this method, he was convinced that nothing was decided and that drilling would proceed until the desired depth was reached. Then I asked how deep the child was trapped and told me it was about 850 feet, but five years ago it was out of function and covered with sand. He confirmed that the child was trapped about 88 feet.
He also confirmed that the child is oxygenated and has an airlock scheme at that level. When asked why the child didn't use the small boring machine used to drill down, he said it would take several days compared to this method because he needed multiple bores and a larger hold to enter the country to save the child. . .
It is raining on the rescue team, all the measures have been taken to continue the work during the rain, and a shelter has been established to prevent water from entering the hole where the child is attached. During this meeting all other authorities involved in the operation were present. They do not give up hope and still try to save Surjith.
