Uttarkashi: Trapped for 8 days, workers desperate for fresh air

The conditions inside the collapsed Silkyara tunnel are worsening for the trapped workers, as the air and water are polluted and toxic. Authorities claim that the workers are receiving food, water, and oxygen, but concerns remain. There are worries that the gases from construction work are trapped inside the tunnel, and if the ventilation tube is damaged, conditions could worsen. But the oxygen supply through the small pipe is making the condition bearable.
