Union Minister Nitin Gadkari presented the Sarvottam Jeevan Raksha Padak to 12 rat-hole miners, recognizing their courageous efforts during the Silkyara Tunnel rescue mission in Uttarakhand. Along with the medal, every recipient was given a cash prize of ₹2 lakh. These workers were honored for their role in November 2023, when they manually cleared rubble to save 41 laborers who had been stuck for 17 days following a collapse at the under-construction site.
