Workers trapped in a collapsed tunnel in India for 17 days recounted their ordeal on Wednesday (November 29), a day after they were rescued.

One of the workers, Vishwajeet Kumar Verma, said they had faced difficulties concerning food and water initially, but those issues were eased after rescuers managed to insert a pipe through which they delivered supplies to the group of 41 workers.

Another rescued worker, Subodh Kumar Verma said he was healthy and thanked authorities for their efforts.

The first worker to be evacuated was garlanded with marigold flowers and welcomed in traditional Indian style inside the tunnel by Uttarakhand state's chief minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Authorities have not said what caused the cave-in but the region is prone to landslides, earthquakes and floods.
