International Help Sought in Rescue of Workers Trapped in Collapsed Indian Tunnel

India
    Approximately 40 workers are trapped in a collapsed highway tunnel in Uttarakhand, India.
    Indian authorities have sought international help for the rescue operation.
    The workers are being supplied with food, water, and oxygen through a pipe.

    Rescue operations are underway in Uttarakhand, India, where approximately 40 workers are trapped in a collapsed highway tunnel. The workers, who are migrant laborers, were working on a project to upgrade India's transport network when the tunnel, part of a Hindu pilgrimage route, collapsed. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation by a team of geologists.

    The rescue efforts have been complicated by falling debris, fragile rock, and a landslide. Despite these challenges, the trapped workers are being supplied with food, water, and oxygen through a pipe. An advanced machine is also being prepared to cut through the rubble faster. In addition, rescue teams are using heavy machinery to install a steel pipe through which the trapped workers could potentially be extracted.

    In a bid to expedite the rescue operation, Indian authorities have sought international help. They have contacted the Thai team that successfully rescued a boys' soccer team from a flooded cave in 2018, as well as the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute. The workers have been trapped for over 90 hours at the time of reporting.
