UTTARAKHAND: All 41 victims of the tunnel collapse in India were rescued after 17 days trapped in the rubble.

According to the Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Pushkar Singh Dhami, all the victims are in good condition, however they need to receive treatment and monitoring from the hospital.

The difficult search and rescue mission took 17 days to drill the tunnel's collapsed site.

In addition, none of the victims suffered serious injuries, and some of them were still able to crawl out of the tunnel when the rescue mission was carried out.

In the meantime, all the victims were also given compensation worth 100,000 rupees by the Indian government.

It is understood that they have been trapped since November 12 when part of a tunnel in Uttarakhand in northern India collapsed blocking the only exit.

The rescue mission also had to be stopped several times due to weather conditions and the topography of the area at risk.

The tunnel is part of the Char Dham Expressway, the brainchild of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It is the most controversial project to upgrade the estimated cost of millions of dollars in what will become the country's most important transportation network.
