Another dead body has been recovered from the debris at a tunnel collapse site in Jammu after a portion of an under-construction tunnel on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway in Ramban district collapsed late on Thursday night. The official death count has gone up to four, while six people are still missing and a rescue operation is underway.
The operation to rescue nine labourers feared trapped under the debris resumed early on Saturday after a fresh landslide on Friday evening had forced the authorities to suspend the process.
The tunnel, which is on the highway near Khooni Nallah in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, caved in at the start of audit-related work at around 10.15 pm on Thursday, after which officials had confirmed that a labourer had died and three others were rescued.
A small portion of the front side of the tunnel had collapsed, reported news agency PTI.
