Race to rescue dozens of workers trapped by tunnel collapse in India

Rescue operations are underway to save nearly 36 workers feared trapped inside an under-construction tunnel that collapsed on Sunday in India’s Himalayan state of Uttarakhand.

A 150-metre portion of the structure collapsed around 4am (local time) on Sunday, trapping a team of construction workers.

The 4km-long tunnel in Uttarkashi district is being built to connect the Silkyara and Dandalgaon regions in an effort to reduce the journey from Uttarkashi to Yamunotri Dham, a Hindu religious shrine, by about 26km. (Foreign Agencies)
