41 workers who were rescued from a collapsed tunnel in India have been greeted with cheers and tears of joy. The miners, who were trapped under the Himalayas, were rescued after a 17-day search operation.
Rescue teams dug through the rocks and the massif of dirt until they reached the miners.

It took weeks to open an escape route for the workers through the mountain, with the last two meters dug out by hand, before the miners finally saw the light.
Footage from the scene showed Pushkar Singh Dhami, chief minister of Uttarakhand state, meeting the workers, who appeared to be in good health.

The men have been trapped since November 12 when part of the tunnel they were helping to build in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand shifted, blocking their only exit with more than 60 meters of broken rock, concrete and metal. twisted.
The miners, all migrant workers from some of India's poorest states, were able to be supplied with food, water and oxygen through a 53-metre pipe that managed to penetrate the rubble, so their lives were not put in danger.
