Rescuers are trying to send cooked food and set up a phone connection to 41 workers trapped for eight days in a collapsed tunnel in the Indian Himalayas as they explore fresh rescue plans after previous attempts stalled, officials said on Monday.
The men have been stuck in the highway tunnel in Uttarakhand state since it caved in early on November 12 and are safe, authorities said.
