Officials have stated that retrieving the bodies will take additional time due to the complexity of the operation.Among the deceased are six laborers and two engineers who were working on the SLBC tunnel project. The collapse occurred on February 22, leaving them trapped inside the tunnel for seven days before their bodies were discovered.
