A specialist drilling machine has been deployed to rescue 40 Indian workers trapped inside a tunnel for more than four days in Uttarakhand state.
The men are trapped in an area of about 50 metres and are safe, officials said, with food, water and oxygen being supplied through a pipe since the collapse early on Sunday, and frequent contact is being made with them through walkie-talkies. "The plan is to drill through the debris, put mild steel pipes in it and make a path for the labourers to move," Ranjit Sinha, the top disaster management officer in Uttarakhand, told Reuters by phone.
Over 160 NDRF, SDRF, BRO and ITBP personnel are racing against time to reach the trapped workers. | Latest News India
