00:00You won't be able to find out about day and night, until that hole is not made.
00:05Yes sir, we used to save our mobile phones and keep it on to see the time.
00:10Everyone was so worried inside, the whole country was worried.
00:30First of all, I would like to congratulate you and all your colleagues, that we were able
00:43to come out of this crisis in a positive way.
00:47It is a very happy thing for me, I can't even describe it in words.
00:53Otherwise, if anything bad would have happened, it would have been difficult to say how we
01:00would have been able to handle it.
01:02It was the grace of Kedarnath Baba and Bhadrinath Bhagwan that all of us came out of this crisis
01:09successfully.
01:10And 16-17 days is not a short time.
01:13You all showed a lot of courage, showed a lot of courage and kept each other motivated.
01:20This is the biggest thing.
01:22Sir, we were trapped in the tunnel for 18 days.
01:26But we didn't feel that we were weak or scared.
01:35Because we were 41 members, sir.
01:38And we were from different states, sir.
01:41But we were like brothers, sir.
01:44If anyone was in trouble, we were together.
01:47If there was any problem, there was no problem.
01:50We used to eat together in one place, sir.
01:54In the morning, we used to tell our friends that we are eating and drinking.
02:00We don't have any other work inside.
02:02So we do some yoga and morning walk in the river.
02:06There is no such thing as going outside.
02:09My first request was that all the ambulance vans should stand there and
02:13everyone should be hospitalized first.
02:15But immediately the doctors told me that they are in good health.
02:20They have been inside with so much fun and so much courage that there is no problem medically.
02:26But you won't know about day and night inside until that hole is not made.
02:32Yes, sir.
02:33We used to save our mobile phones, sir.
02:36We used to turn it on to see the time.
02:38After that, the company provided us with mobile phones and chargers.
02:43Then we started feeling good.
02:46We are feeling very bored here.
02:48So they provided us with such facilities that we could talk to them.
02:52I used to feel light-hearted, sir.
02:54No, but still, it was a time of great concern.
02:59You handled yourself well.
03:01Because I don't know what we could have done if something bad had happened.
03:08Everyone was so worried inside.
03:10The whole country was worried.
03:12But the courage you have shown will inspire many citizens of the country in the coming days.
03:19What should we do in times of crisis?
03:22Everyone will get a little idea.
03:24When the young people of D.R.F. entered, our lives were saved.
03:27We thanked God.
03:29All the people there, especially our Pushkar Singh Dhami, who is the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, sir.
03:37We thank him from the bottom of our hearts.
03:39In times of crisis, all the people of Uttarakhand, all the countries are with us, sir.
