Rescue teams inside the Uttarakhand tunnel on November 14, 2023. Uttarakhand State Disaster Response Force/Handout/ReutersAuthorities said they were exploring all options to reach the men, including contacting teams experienced in delicate rescue missions. “The rescue team has contacted the Thailand company which had rescued the children trapped in the cave,” it added. Twelve boys and their soccer coach were rescued after nearly three weeks trapped inside the flooded Tham Luang cave by a specialist cave diving team in 2018. Indian authorities have also reached out to the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) to get advice, the statement said.

Uttarakhand State Disaster Response Force/Handout via REUTERS Acquire Licensing RightsLUCKNOW, India, Nov 15 (Reuters) - Rescue teams were unable on Wednesday to reach 40 workers trapped in a collapsed highway tunnel in India, as huge boulders were blocking efforts to create an evacuation passage, officials said. It has been three days since the tunnel collapsed but the labourers continue to be safe and healthy, one official involved in the rescue operations told Reuters. Naveen, relief commissioner of Uttar Pradesh state, told Reuters. Local media reported on Tuesday that those near the exit of the tunnel got out, while the 40 who were deeper inside were trapped.

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.

As many as 40 men were working in the tunnel, part of an ambitious Himalayan highway project in town of Uttarkashi, when part of the passageway leading to the entrance gave way, authorities said. “We are all working hard to get them all out,” Uttarkashi superintendent of police, Arpan Yaduvanshi, told CNN on Monday. Rescuers have been supplying oxygen and water to the men through the debris, Yaduvanshi added. The Char Dham Highway project is expected to be nearly 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) long, improving access to the state from India’s capital New Delhi. In August, more than a dozen workers were killed after a bridge under construction collapsed in the northeastern state of Mizoram.
