First images show Indian workers trapped in collapsed tunnel

Some of the 41 men stuck for over a week seen standing in confined space as rescuers prepare to resume drilling

The first images have emerged of 41 men trapped for more than a week in a highway tunnel in the Indian Himalayas, showing them standing in the confined space and communicating with rescue workers.

The men have been stuck in the 3-mile (4.5km) tunnel in Uttarakhand state since it caved in on 12 November and are safe, authorities said, with access to light, oxygen, food, water and medicines.
