Disquiet simmers among voters over exploited Aravallis

Right next to the village of Rela in the newly carved Kotputli district in the Aravalli range Rajasthan, a barren hill stands tall. A deep mining pit, cutting through its base, trails off into the distance. Inside, a bevy of heavy machinery is drilling through the tenuous slopes, and earthmovers are loading stones into trucks dotting the trenches. From this near unbreathable cloud of dust, these trucks emerge intermittently, stopping at a security gate for a brief minute, before making their way on a sandy two-lane road that leads to the state highway.

At 3:45am on Tuesday, Jaimal Singh Negi had cheered when he saw the first visuals of 41 workers — among them his elder brother — who have been trapped inside an under-construction tunnel in Uttarkashi for the past 11 days. Twenty-two hours later, at 12.45am on Wednesday, Negi cheered even louder as an American auger machine began drilling into the debris for the first time in four days. By Wednesday evening, officials announced to an excited group of family members and colleagues that there were only 18 metres of an estimated 57 metres of debris left to drill through, making the possibility of a reunion, and the successful end of a painstaking multi-agency rescue operation, a real possibility.
