"Rescue Operation Shifts Gear as Indian Workers Trapped in Himalayan Tunnel for 10 Days Receive Hot Meals"

The first images of the 41 workers trapped inside a collapsed road tunnel in the Indian Himalayas have been released, showing them standing in a confined space and communicating with rescue workers. The men, who have been stuck in the tunnel for 10 days, are safe and have access to light, oxygen, food, water, and medicines. Efforts to rescue them have been slowed by difficulties in drilling through the debris. Rescuers are working on multiple plans, including drilling horizontally and vertically, to create new passageways for the trapped workers. The workers, who are low-wage laborers from poor states in India, are in good spirits and eager to be rescued.
