"Indian Rescuers Triumph in Tunnel Operation, Freeing 41 Trapped Workers"
Indian rescuers, including "rat miners," have successfully drilled through rocks and debris to reach 41 construction workers who have been trapped in a collapsed tunnel in the Himalayas for 17 days. The workers will be pulled out one by one on wheeled stretchers through a narrow pipe. The rescue operation was made possible by the efforts of the rescuers and the prayers of millions of Indians. The workers have been receiving essential supplies through a pipe, and now efforts are underway to evacuate them to a nearby hospital. The tunnel is part of a major infrastructure project and the cause of the collapse is still unknown.
