Kerala Police cadaver dogs join rescue operations in Telangana
KOCHI: Specially-trained cadaver dogs of the Kerala Police — Maya and Murphy — arrived in Telangana to assist in the tunnel collapse search operations on Thursday. The team will join the search operations on Friday.
The team, including handlers Prabhath, George Manuel, Maneesh K M and Vineeth, boarded an Air Force cargo flight from Nedumbassery airport and reached Hyderabad by 3 am. From the airport they were taken to Srisailam in a helicopter. The handlers visited the spot and entered the tunnel to examine the site on Thursday afternoon.
They boarded a metre gauge loco train to reach the tunnel, which is 9.5 m wide but it has been filled with debris which makes the mission tough. The authorities say it is risky to remove the debris as there may be further mudslides.
