Paralympian archer Sheetal Devi has become the breakout star at this summer's Games after defying the odds by using just her feet to land a perfect bullseye and seal bronze in Paris. The only participant in the event without arms, the Indian athlete's technique in a sport requiring the highest levels of precision and concentration is both mesmerising and inspiring. First she lifts the arrow into place using her right foot before raising up the bow, which has been balancing on her left knee, with the same foot. By now the instrument is in line with her face and Devi, shutting her left eye in an expression of pure focus, works to line up the projectile perfectly with the target - which sits imposingly a whopping 70 metres away.

After repeated setbacks in the operation, which culminated in the death of high-powered masonry drills and digging machines, military engineers and skilled miners labored tirelessly by hand in a painful dig using a so-called 'rat-hole' technique. A metal pipe has been pushed some 57 meters through the earth to reach the tired men, who will be pulled back out through the exit by specially-designed wheeled stretchers. As the drilling concluded through the tonnes of earth, concrete, and rubble that had been blocking the workers' escape, rescue teams were seen smiling and flashing victory signs on social media today. The work of laying pipes in the tunnel to take out the employees has been completed,' said chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who also said that the tunnel will be taken out.'
