The workers have been stuck in the 4.5-km tunnel in Uttarakhand state since it caved in early on Nov 12.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New Delhi: <\/b><\/p>\n

Forty-one workers trapped in an Uttarakhand tunnel<\/a> for 10 days could be pulled out within the next two days with the help of a drilling machine, but if it doesn’t work out the rescue could even stretch to 15 days, a top government officer has said.<\/p>\n

The workers have been stuck in the 4.5-km tunnel in Uttarakhand state since it caved in early on November 12. They are being supplied food, water, and medicines through steel pipes.<\/p>\n

Road Transport and Highways secretary Anurag Jain said that the American-made Auger drilling machine, which is already in action, is the best option right now and workers could be out within 2.5 days. The auger machine had come across a hard boulder on Friday afternoon, triggering vibrations that forced rescuers to put the operation on hold due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n

Mr Jain said that they have kept five other action plans ready, but those could take as long as 12-15 days.<\/p>\n

“We are working on all options simultaneously instead of waiting for one option to click. Auger and horizontal boring to create an opening parallel to the tunnel. Creating a horizontal opening could take 12-15 days.”<\/p>\n

A 30-second video provided by authorities showed about a dozen of the trapped men standing in a semi-circle in front of the camera, wearing helmets and construction worker jackets over their clothes against the backdrop of the lights in the tunnel. A rescue worker could be heard telling the men to present themselves before the camera one by one, to confirm their identities on the walkie-talkie gear that had been sent in.<\/p>\n

In the clip, the trapped men appeared to be doing fine, answering that they were all right in response to queries about their well-being, said one official in the rescue control room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
