The first images have emerged of 41 men trapped for a tenth day under a collapsed road in India. <\/p>\n

It showed some dozen men in construction hats grouped around the blocked tunnel as they communicated with rescuers on the ground with walkie-talkies.<\/p>\n

The video was taken by a snakelike medical endoscopy camera fed through a newly installed pipe used for sending food to the workers.<\/p>\n

It was the first time in more than a week that the men received hot food, made up of rice and lentils, sent through the six-inch tube.<\/p>\n

Until now, the workers have survived off dry food sent through an even narrower pipe, while oxygen continues to be supplied through a separate one.<\/p>\n

A psychiatrist sent to the site by the state government reported they had been “sleeping well” and advised them to occupy themselves with light yoga and regular conversations.<\/p>\n

A landslide on Sunday caused<\/strong> a portion of the 4.5km tunnel in Uttarkashi, northern India, to collapse about 200m from the entrance.<\/p>\n

Uttarkashi is about 160 miles (260km) northeast of Delhi, close to the Himalayas.<\/p>\n

A huge rescue operation was launched but it was hampered<\/strong> when one of the drills digging towards the men was damaged.<\/p>\n

The machine’s high-intensity vibrations caused more debris to fall as the rescue efforts were briefly postponed, to the dismay of family members who hoped to see their relatives.<\/p>\n

Rescue teams will need to clear 103m of rubble to reach the men – nearly double the distance as the original rescue attempt.<\/p>\n

There is hope to get a “breakthrough in the next 30 to 40 hours” according to Mahmood Ahmed, the head of the National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation (NHIDCL) responsible for building the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Its construction is part of a flagship federal government project connecting various Hindu pilgrimage sites.<\/p>\n

The trapped men are low-wage workers, most from poor states in the north and east of India.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
