Rescuers crews had not managed to established contact with the trapped men for more than 100 hours, and the efforts to reach the men have come up against a series of challenges.<\/p>\n<p>A portion of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel collapsed Saturday morning, causing water and mud to rush into the huge tunnel, which has a diameter of about 33 feet. Officials have said that about 50 workers were inside the tunnel when part of its ceiling caved in. Forty-three of them managed to escape, but eight were left trapped.<\/p>\n<p>There has been no confirmation on the condition of the trapped men as no contact has been made with them by rescuers. Personnel with several agencies, including the Indian Army and the National Disaster Response Force, have been involved in the rescue efforts. <\/p>\n<p>They have faced repeated setbacks due to loose soil and mud inside the tunnel.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/26\/6dbd56e5-6192-4f36-87f6-804e41ee7f27\/thumbnail\/620x413\/f009420def877cd5d5f0218555d7507a\/india-tunnel-collapse.jpg?v=78c95795a48cecb960a56aa16b9fa6dd#\" alt=\"Members NDRF team carry their equipment during a rescue operation outside the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel in Nagarkurnool \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/26\/6dbd56e5-6192-4f36-87f6-804e41ee7f27\/thumbnail\/620x413\/f009420def877cd5d5f0218555d7507a\/india-tunnel-collapse.jpg?v=78c95795a48cecb960a56aa16b9fa6dd 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/26\/6dbd56e5-6192-4f36-87f6-804e41ee7f27\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/a6cc69adae54828de953c5e7a301283b\/india-tunnel-collapse.jpg?v=78c95795a48cecb960a56aa16b9fa6dd 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20413'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Members of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) carry equipment during a rescue operation outside the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel after a portion of the tunnel collapsed, in Nagarkurnool district in the southern state of Telangana, India, Feb. 24, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Stringer\/REUTERS<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Work on the 27-mile-long tunnel, which would be one of the world&#8217;s longest irrigation tunnels if it is completed, has been delayed several times since construction began in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the rescuers worked to clear a train track inside the tunnel so it can be used to transport equipment to pump water out from around the site of the collapse.
