Rescuers in northern India dig to reach 40 construction workers trapped by landslide
PBS NewsHourNOV 2023
Authorities are doing all they can to free the trapped workers but are struggling against the elements. Continued landslides have complicated their rescue efforts but more help and heavy machinery is being brought in. The workers are all currently safe and rescuers are working hard to keep it that way.
The friends and families of the trapped workers have a right to be angry at authorities. Accidents on large-scale infrastructure projects like this one are not uncommon, and migrant workers like those currently trapped in the tunnel are the ones bearing the brunt of these disasters.
