Attempts to reach 41 construction workers stuck in a collapsed tunnel in northern India for two weeks have been hampered again.
Rescuers had been working by hand to remove debris after the drilling machine they were using broke down a day earlier while making its way through the debris of rock, stones and metal, but the operation was halted on Saturday.
Arnold Dix, an international expert assisting the rescue team at the accident site in the state of Uttarakhand, said it is unclear when the drilling will be able to start again.
