Rescue Operation: Indian Workers Safely Extracted from Collapsed Tunnel Using Heavy Machinery

Heavy machinery, including excavators, are being used to drill and fix a wide steel pipe in order to rescue nearly 40 Indian workers trapped inside a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand, India. The 4.5-km tunnel, part of the Char Dham pilgrimage route, collapsed on Sunday. Food, water, and oxygen have been supplied to the trapped workers, and efforts are underway to safely pull them out. The cause of the accident is being investigated by a team of geologists. The Char Dham project, aimed at connecting important Hindu pilgrimage sites, has faced criticism for its impact on the environment and concerns about safety.
