Fresh roadblocks have hit the efforts to rescue 40 workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in Uttarkashi district of Uttarakhand. The workers are trapped inside the tunnel for the past 3 days. While rescuers were trying to drill a 3-feet hole through the debris to reach the workers, the augur machine being used for drilling the hole has developed a snag, further delaying the rescue operation. Meanwhile, authorities have called in the Indian Air Force to airlift heavy machinery required for rescue work.
