A tunnel collapse in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district left 19 workers trapped, with 16 rescued so far and three still missing. The incident, which occurred early this week, was triggered by a sudden influx of water that flooded the tunnel.
According to India News: Latest India News, T, rescue teams have retrieved 16 workers from the flooded tunnel and are currently searching for the remaining three. The Times of India reports that the collapse was caused by a sudden water inflow that surged into the tunnel, trapping workers inside. NDTV, cited through Google News, confirms that water and debris entered the tunnel, complicating the rescue effort.
Chamoli lies in a remote, mountainous region where tunnel projects are common but often risky due to unpredictable water sources. The collapse underscores the challenges faced by construction crews operating in such environments.
