The 41 workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand's Silkyara are expected to be rescued by 8 am today, a rescue official told reporters. Only 12 metres of rock and debris separate them, officials said earlier on Wednesday. The under-construction tunnel had collapsed on November 12, trapping the labourers working inside. Advanced drilling machines were flown in as rescue officials raced against time to save the trapped workers.
