India workers trapped for weeks in Himalayan tunnel on verge of rescue

Al Jazeera  

Officials in India say they are on the verge of rescuing the 41 construction workers trapped in a collapsed Himalayan tunnel for over two weeks in the country’s north after rescuers drilled their way through debris to reach them. Kirti Panwar, a state government spokesperson, said about a dozen men had worked overnight to manually dig through rocks and debris, taking turns to drill using hand-held drilling tools and clearing out the muck in what he said was the final stretch of the rescue operation. The workers have been trapped since November 12 when a landslide caused a portion of the 4.5km tunnel they were building to collapse about 200 metres from the entrance. Authorities have supplied the trapped workers with hot meals through a 15cm pipe after days of surviving only on dry food sent through a narrower pipe.
