The tunnel has one entry and bifurcates, making it harder to locate the missing men. Progress is slow but we are trying to speed it up," SDRF personnel told ANI. A senior ITPB official said the rescuers had not been able to make contact with the trapped men but are hopeful for 'signs of life'. "We hope to save the people stuck inside," emergency workers, who have already saved 12 men from another, smaller, tunnel, said. Meanwhile outside the tunnel other teams are on standby including medical teams and anxious family members and friends of those trapped in the tunnel.
