A tunnel roof collapse trapped eight workers, while 42 escaped. Rescuers battle unstable debris to reach those still inside.

Disaster teams, Army, and SCCL are racing to cut through debris and reach the trapped workers as every second matters in this high-risk mission.

Trapped workers include engineers and laborers from multiple states. Families wait anxiously as the rescue effort intensifies.

The tunnel’s ventilation system is functional, ensuring oxygen for trapped workers and giving rescuers a crucial window to save lives.

Army engineers, NDRF, and SDRF teams use excavators, dozers, and medical aid to clear debris and reach the trapped workers.

The Army’s Engineer Task Force, with medical teams and heavy machinery, has joined efforts to rescue the eight trapped workers.

Rescue teams are cutting through 13 km of iron, cement, and muck to reach the trapped workers. The collapsed tunnel boring machine adds to the challenge.
