3 workers remain missing inside a tunnel in Chamoli, Uttarakhand, after a sudden rush of water and debris trapped workers on Thursday. Rescue teams are facing difficulties due to continuous rain and rising water levels inside the tunnel. A total of 22 people were working at the site when the incident occurred around 1.8 km inside the tunnel. Rescuers brought out 19 workers, but seven later died in hospital. Twelve others were injured and are receiving treatment.
