Returned home from Uttarkashi only last Sunday. He was near the tunnel and used to talk to his father daily. Akash told that his father Gabbar Singh said that he is encouraging the people. Telling everyone that there is no need to panic. The company is busy firing all of us. His courage is boosting the courage of other workers present there.
