Claim: The image shows one of the workers trapped inside the recently collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand
Fact-check: An old and unrelated image featuring an elderly man is falsely connected to the recent Uttarakhand tunnel collapse - FACTLY
Verdict: this image has been circulating since 2019 on various social media platforms. however, none of the sources provided information about the location or gave any context for the image shared. since the image predates the recently collapsed silkyara tunnel incident in uttarakhand, the claim made in the post is false.
