A technical committee, led by Arvind Kumar, Special Principal Secretary of the Revenue Department (Disasters), met to review the situation. After discussions, they decided it was unsafe to continue rescue work beyond 13.6 kilometers from the tunnel’s starting point. The meeting included important officials like Fire Services DG Nagi Reddy, Special Secretary of the Irrigation Department Prashant Jeevan Patil, the NDRF 10th Battalion Commandant, and experts from geological and engineering fields.
