After the partial collapse of a tunnel shell in northern India, rescuers were able to make contact with about forty buried workers.
They are doing well, a spokesperson for the Civil Protection Agency (NDRF) said on Monday, according to local media. The people inside were also provided with water and food. The rescuers are still about 35 meters away from the buried victims.
The accident happened on Sunday morning for reasons that are still unclear, approximately 200 meters from the entrance to the highway tunnel.
The helpers had to fight their way through mountains of rubble and rubble, it said. Heavy machinery is also used. The approximately 4.5 kilometer long tunnel is being built near the town of Uttarkashi in the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.
An Indian government statement on the project said it aims to reduce travel times in the region while protecting the environment as no trees need to be felled.
