Trapped in a tunnel in Uttarakhand for 11 days, 41 workers hope for "good news" soon after rescue teams have managed to drill through more than two-thirds of the debris blocking the way. The distance between the evacuation team and the workers is now less than 15 meters - the rescue teams have managed to drill through 45 metres of debris after hitting a snag in the operations four days ago.
Anxious families are hoping to see their loved ones soon as the rescue operation is nearing its end. Officials expect the rescue operation will be over by 11:30 pm.
Devendra Kisku, elder brother of Birendra Kisku from Bihar who has been trapped inside the tunnel, spoke to NDTV outside the rescue site in Uttarkashi. "We have been informed by the rescue officials that the workers have been provided soap, and towels to take a bath and since last night they are getting good food too," Devendra Kisku said.
