Around 50 workers had been inside the 43 km long tunnel when a part of its roof caved in early Saturday morning.
Authorities in the southern Indian state of Telangana are racing against time to save eight construction workers trapped inside a tunnel for more than 72 hours.
Around 50 workers had been inside the 43 km long tunnel, located in Nagarkurnool district, when a part of its roof caved in early Saturday morning.
Officials say 43 of them managed to exit safely but efforts to reach the remaining eight men have faced repeated setbacks due to loose soil, mud and slush inside the tunnel.
They have also been unable to establish contact with the trapped men, or provide them with oxygen and other essential supplies.
