Ground Report: Telangana Tunnel Rescue May Slow Down As Wall Of Slush Rises

The race to find eight workers trapped in the collapsed Telangana tunnel has taken a turn for the worse - with less than 50 metres between rescuers and the buried section - after a one-metre-increase in the wall of slush threatening to bury them, NDTV was told Monday evening, 48 hours after the collapse. Rescue operations may be forced to slow down, NDTV was then told, after experts, including one from Australia, raised questions about the stability of the collapsed section. Any more digging, it is believed could not only further endanger the trapped workers but also risk the lives of those trying to save them.
