NEW DELHI: Dozens of workers were trapped after an under-construction road tunnel collapsed in the north Indian state of Uttarakhand on Sunday.
A part of the 4.5-km tunnel collapsed in the early hours, trapping about 40 people in the Uttarkashi district, local media reported.
Rescue efforts were under way.
The tunnel is part of a highway project to reduce travel distance between Uttarkashi and Yamunotri, a Hindu pilgrimage site in the Himalayas. – Bernama
