After 12 days, the 41 workers who were left trapped in a collapsed tunnel in northern India on Nov. 12 remain stuck, despite significant process in rescue efforts.

Before the project came to a halt, these dozens of workers were helping to build a road connecting four Hindu pilgrimage sites near the Himalayas.

As of Thursday evening, after drilling for days, workers made it through nearly 46 metres — with another 12 to go before a sufficient passageway is made for a safe escape.

A delay, however, occurred that evening, after the drilling machine used in the rescue hit a lattice steel girder arch that took six hours to remove.

As Global’s Kyle Benning reports, the tumultuous situation is having a negative impact upon not just those trapped, but their worried family members, too.
