Uttarkashi (Uttarakhand): Rescuers on Tuesday released the first video of the workers trapped inside the Silkyara tunnel here for 10 days.

This comes as a big relief to the families of these workers.

National Highways and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (NHIDCL) Director Anshu Manish Khalkho had earlier said that cameras would be inserted through the pipeline to see how the workers were doing.

The camera was sent in after it came from Delhi late on Monday evening.
