While the optimists hoped to find the workers alive, doubts were raised about their well-being as the rescue operations got delayed.
A portion of the tunnel collapsed on February 22 and eight people were trapped in it. After 6 days of rescue operations, the teams began cutting the tunnel boring machine and other obstacles that prevented them from reaching the trapped workers. The Army, Navy, Rat Miners and NDRF were part of the rescue operations.
