"Desperate Race Against Time: Rescuers Adapt Tactics in Uttarakhand Tunnel Collapse"

Efforts to rescue 40 workers trapped inside a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand, India, have expanded to include drilling from the mountain top, as previous attempts to clear debris from the tunnel's mouth have failed. Contact has been established with the workers, who are being provided with oxygen and food. The rescue operation is expected to take another four or five days, and tensions have risen among officials and friends of the trapped workers. The tunnel collapse occurred after a landslide, and the tunnel is part of a highway project to improve access to pilgrimage spots in Uttarakhand.
