Uttarkashi: Rescuers drilling through rubble to reach workers stuck in tunnel

Rescue operations continued for the third consecutive day on Tuesday to save 40 workers trapped inside a collapsed under-construction tunnel on the Brahmkhal-Yamunotri national highway in Uttarakhand. Authorities said all trapped labourers were safe and communication was being maintained with them through walkie-talkie sets. Food and oxygen supplies are being ensured to them.

The workers were constructing the tunnel when a landslide caused a part of it to cave in on Sunday morning.
