Authorities in India recover the bodies of workers trapped after a hydropower tunnel collapses, bringing the confirmed death toll to 25. The Independent and Stuff.co.nz report that 13 workers’ bodies are recovered from inside the collapsed tunnel after the rescue effort concludes on Thursday. With those remains recovered, there are no further survivors reported, and authorities end the search and rescue operations.
The available accounts describe a completed recovery process rather than an ongoing operation. Both sources attribute the rise in the death toll to the recovery of the remaining trapped workers. The Winnipeg Free Press provides the same headline framing and indicates the rescue effort has ended, aligning with the same final figure reported by the other outlets.
Details on the project location, cause of the collapse, and any arrests or investigations are not included in the excerpts provided. The reports focus on the final toll and the status of rescue activities, stating that operations end once the remaining 13 bodies are recovered.
