"Rescue efforts for trapped workers in collapsed Indian tunnel delayed due to broken drilling machine"

Efforts to rescue 41 construction workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in northern India have been halted after the drilling machine broke down. The rescuers are now working by hand to remove debris, but the operation has come to a standstill. It is unclear when the drilling will resume as the machine is irreparable. The workers have been trapped since November 12, and the challenging mountainous terrain has posed difficulties for the rescue teams. Alternative plans, including vertical drilling, are being considered. The workers have been supplied with food and oxygen through pipes, and their families are anxiously waiting for updates on the rescue effort.
