Officials in Indian-controlled Kashmir say rescuers have found the body of one worker after part of a tunnel collapsed in the Himalayan region and are continuing to search for nine others trapped
SRINAGAR, India -- Rescuers have found the body of one worker in Indian-controlled Kashmir after part of a tunnel collapsed in the Himalayan region and are continuing to search for nine others who are trapped, officials said Friday.
The tunnel is part of a mountainous highway tunnel system that was under construction when it collapsed Thursday night in the southern Ramban district.
Ramban's top civil official Mussarat Islam said the body of a worker from the eastern state of West Bengal was recovered. He said various crews were working to rescue the nine workers who are still missing.
“We hope that we find somebody alive,” Islam said.
