TL;DR Summary

Rescuers in India are preparing to manually dig in the final phase of rescuing 41 construction workers who have been trapped in a collapsed mountain tunnel for over two weeks. After a failed attempt to drill vertically, the drilling machine was replaced and excavation has reached about 150 feet horizontally. The workers have been supplied with food and oxygen through pipes, and their families have gathered at the site for updates. Uncertainty surrounds the timeline of the rescue operation, but experts hope the workers will be reunited with their families by Christmas.
