Acquire Licensing RightsSILKYARA, India, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Rescuers drilled about one-third of the way into the debris of a collapsed highway tunnel in India by Friday morning to reach 40 workers trapped inside for five days, officials said. Drilling had penetrated through about 21 metres (70 feet) of debris, Devendra Singh Patwal, a disaster management officer, told Reuters. Another officer with the rescue team inside the tunnel said the trapped men were doing fine. A rescue mission is currently underway at the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand to free 40 workers who are stuck inside following a landslide.

[1/2] A crane moves past police officers and rescue team members outside a tunnel where 40 road workers are trapped after a portion of the tunnel collapsed in Uttarkashi in the northern state of Uttarakhand, India, November 15, 2023. Rescue efforts have been focused on drilling through the fallen rock to create space for a pipe that can be used to pull the men to safety. Work would begin shortly to cover the 60 metres distance to reach the men, said Devendra Singh Patwal, a state disaster management official. Since the tunnel collapsed, the trapped men have been supplied with food, water and oxygen via a pipe and they are in contact with rescuers via walkie-talkies. Authorities have not said what caused the tunnel to cave in but the region is prone to landslides, earthquakes and floods.

Uttarakhand State Disaster Response Force/Handout via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsLUCKNOW, India, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Excavators began drilling with heavy machinery on Tuesday to fix a wide steel pipe that will help pull out almost 40 Indian workers trapped inside a collapsed Himalayan highway tunnel that caved in two days ago in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand. Patwal said it was not easy to ascertain the time required to pull out the workers. But some work has been halted by local authorities after hundreds of houses were damaged by subsidence along the routes, including in Uttarakhand.
