Hyderabad/IBNS, Feb. 24 -- The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is still working to rescue eight workers who are trapped after an under-construction of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel in Telangana's Nalgonda district collapsed on Saturday, media reports said.

The workers are trapped for nearly 48 hours.

The collapse took place only four days after the resumption of work.

While eight got trapped, some others managed to escape.

The visuals on Monday show the rescue workers of four NDRF teams advancing into the tunnel despite challenging conditions.

The NDRF is now working to drain out the accumulated water in the tunnel.

The team is facing challenges due to the debris caused by the collapse.
