Trapped for nine days in tunnel :Efforts to rescue in final stages
Reports said on Monday that the 50-member rescue team has been able to make a vertical shaft from the hilltop to the roof of the tunnel. The team has been digging through a hill inch by inch for more than a week.
Those trapped underground were working on the tunnel, which is a part of a highway project, when a large section caved in on September 12.
Last week, two of the men appeared on a high resolution video camera that was inserted down a pipe, and they have been in touch with the rescue workers since.
Dry fruits, glucose biscuits and water is being pushed down a pipe for the two survivors.
Family members of the trapped men have been camping at the site.
