Seven people were killed after water and debris entered a tunnel in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district on Thursday, officials said. Two workers are still trapped and rescuers are trying to reach them, the State Disaster Management Authority said in a statement, adding a total of 22 people were working at the project site of Tehri Hydro Development Corporation Ltd (THDC) in Chamoli's Pipalkoti when a sudden flow of water rushed inside.
The strong currents swept many of them towards the tunnel's exit, reports said. The statement said 14 workers were injured. "This is a deeply tragic incident... The entire administrative team and all my colleagues have arrived, and our priority is to provide continuous support to those engaged in the rescue operations," local MLA Lakhpat Butola said.
