Telangana tunnel collapse LIVE: Rescue ops continue amid ‘very remote’ chances of workers' survival

Telangana tunnel collapse LIVE: Rescuers are battling to pull out eight workers who are trapped inside a Telangana tunnel, a portion of which collapsed on February 22 in the southern state's Nagarkurnool district.

On Monday, Telangana minister Jupally Krishna Rao said the chances of survival of the trapped individuals are “very remote,” and rescuing them would take" at least three to four days," as the accident site is filled with muck and debris, making it a daunting task for the rescuers.

Rao also mentioned that a team of rat miners, who had rescued the construction workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand in 2023, has joined the rescue work.
