"International Expert Joins Rescue Mission to Deliver Food to Trapped Workers in Indian Tunnel"

Rescuers in India are attempting to send cooked food and establish a phone connection to 41 workers who have been trapped for eight days in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand state. The workers have access to light and supplies, including oxygen, dry food, water, and medicine. A second pipeline is being drilled to deliver cooked food, and officials are considering setting up an optical fiber connection to help the workers communicate with their families. Rescuers are exploring new plans to extract the workers, including drilling vertically from the top of the mountain. The cause of the tunnel collapse is still unknown.
