A tunnel under construction in Utterkashi, India collapsed on Sunday, trapping 40 workers.
Rescue operations commenced on Monday, with excavators moving mass amounts of rubble from in and outside of the tunnel.
The workers are all “safe,” according to assistant commander of the National Disaster Response Force Karamveer Singh Bhandari, who also said they had been supplied with oxygen, food and water.
“We hope to rescue them by today,” Bhandari said on Monday morning.

Sad, may God be with them.
Prayers for your rescue and hope you are unharmed, and your families. Prayers for the safety of the rescuers as well. 🙏
Happy to be the 4th to comment.Good job India and cheers from Canada.
Prayers for the workers and their families 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏😥
Hope they will fine 🙏🙏🙏
Is anyone else ecstatic the weed was "legalized" in Canada?
Indian engineers at it again. I'm so glad we keep inviting them to Western countries.
should have focused on building properly than operating scam call centres 😂😂😂
please curry!
praying for the trapped workers
Ill bet they all had sandals on.
Thankfully all 40 have been confirmed alive and safe, now it’s just getting them out
Call Hanuman or Bhimasena… they will come and rescue the trapped men. Also call the naked sanyasis to hold a pooja.
They can't do anything right.
All is well…Think positive…❤
This is also Pakistan's fault 🙊
If only the Indian government didn’t sanction a killing ON Canadian soil. No sympathy here.
I hope the workers are fine. That's the problem when you challenge with China. Indian government is fully responsible for this, they certainly gave the contract to some scam company which resulted in this.
ASK FOR CHINA TO HELP YOU. CHINA IS EXPERT IN TUNNELS BRIDGES PORTS ROARDS RAILWAY.
All the fools showing their true colours here lol
Oh wow! They were able to supply the trapped workers with food & water, yet they couldn’t pull them out one by one through the same means??
I guess the workers are just enjoying their days off?
Brilliant journalism!!!
Yeendia Superpowerrrrr!!!! 🇮🇳💪
At least all workers are safe and that's the only thing that matters at the end of the day.
the horrible smell in that tunnel. The deaths will mostly be from the smell.
So glad that they're all safe! Talk about luck. ❤
Prayers for the trapped workers from China! Hope more survivors will be found.
