Himachal Tunnel Collapse

A supply bridge for the under construction Rohtang Tunnel project in Himachal Pradesh collapsed due to strong currents in the Chandra river while a truck was crossing it on Monday. The driver was rescued immediately.

Two men who survived nine days in a collapsed tunnel in Himachal Pradesh's Bilaspur say they were forced to eat paper at first.

Two of the three men trapped more than 40 metres underground in a collapsed tunnel in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh for nine days were pulled out today to loud cheers and clapping from officials, villagers and their family members. A third man is believed to be dead.

For nine days, rescue workers have been digging their way through a hill, inch by inch, driven by hope and feeble voices heard on a CCTV camera. In a few hours, they hope to pull out three men trapped in a collapsed tunnel in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh.

The 170-hour long ordeal for the three workers trapped inside an under-construction tunnel, which collapsed on September 12, is expected to be over in a few hours as the drilling process is nearing its completion.

The Himachal Pradesh High Court today directed the Border Roads Organisation and the central government to file a status report in the ongoing operation to rescue three labourers trapped inside an under-construction tunnel.

Three labourers have been trapped for more than 120 hours inside a tunnel that collapsed on Saturday night near the hill town of Shimla in Himachal Pradesh. Efforts to rescue them looked promising on Friday after workers were able to contact two of the men.

The fate of three labourers -- trapped since Saturday when an under-construction tunnel near Bilaspur town in Himachal Pradesh collapsed blocking the passage -- remained uncertain on Monday as rescue workers failed to reach them, officials said.

At least three labourers were feared trapped as a portion of an under-construction tunnel collapsed in Bilaspur town of Himachal Pradesh today.

Construction work on the strategically important Rohtang tunnel in Kullu district of Himachal Pradesh was partially suspended after a portion of the tunnel collapsed two days back, an official said on Saturday.
