The rescue mission to save 41 workers trapped in a partially collapsed tunnel in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi for 12 days is reportedly in its final stage. According to rescue teams, only about 10 meters of debris remain between them and the trapped workers. The teams encountered metal rods and other obstacles in the debris that bent the alignment of the steel pipes inserted to evacuate the workers. A team of experts has been called in from Delhi to correct it.
