It's been a painful wait for relatives waiting for bodies who say that faulty protection measures led to the tragedy.
Dead bodies of 10 workers have been recovered after a 36-hour long rescue operation in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, officials said.
The workers were buried under debris following a massive landslide after an under-construction tunnel cave-in at Khoni Nallah along the Srinagar- Jammu highway. Experts say the failure of the construction company to follow protection norms may have led to the tragedy. Police have filed an FIR for negligence.
The workers were carrying out open excavation at the tunnel opening on late Thursday evening when massive rocks came crashing.
Five victims are from West Bengal, two from Nepal, one from Assam, and two from Jammu and Kashmir.
