Nine days after they got trapped in a partially collapsed under-construction tunnel near Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh, two workers were rescued on Monday. Search operations continue for the third worker, who is still suspected to be stuck under the debris.

The rescuers had established communication with two of the three trapped labourers through digital cameras and microphones after hours of digging. Food and water had been supplied to the trapped workers through a 47-metre-long and 4-inch diameter bore.

The rescued workers have been identified as Mani Ram and Satish Tomar. However, there has been no communication with the third, Hriday Ram.
