A worker in Uttarakhand is pulled out of a narrow tunnel by the personnel of Indo Tibetan Border Police or ITBP, who have been pressed into the rescue operation after a glacier break and subsequent flash flood in the state's Chamoli district, a mobile video showed.
The clip shows ITBP personnel slowly pulling out a man from the tunnel - just a couple of meters wide - using a rope amid chants of "zor laga ke haisha". As the man emerges from the muddy tunnel, the personnel let out a cheer. The rescued person then throws his arms in relief.
All 16 workers have been rescued from the tunnel, said the local administration.
Over 100 people are missing, and feared dead, after a glacier break at Joshimath in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district triggered massive flooding of the Alaknanda and Dhauliganga rivers on Sunday. 10 bodies have been recovered so far.
The Army, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and paramilitary personnel have been conducting the rescue operation.
