Trapped workers filmed: "I want to see them for real"
The 41 workers who have been trapped in a collapsed tunnel in India since last weekend have been filmed with a camera, several media write. The camera has been advanced through a tube previously used to feed them.
Colleagues express joy at being able to see their co-workers for the first time since November 12, when a landslide occurred.
- I have seen them on video, but now I want to see them for real, says colleague Rahul Ameen to the BBC.
The video also shows that rescue personnel are communicating with the trapped through a walkie-talkie, reports the BBC.

The heroes from Thailand can assist the effort in India
The work to get out the 41 Indian workers who have been stuck in a collapsed tunnel in the state of Uttarakhand for just over a week is dragging on, several media write.
The work has been delayed by, among other things, bad weather conditions, and it will likely take several days before they can be rescued. The strategy has been changed several times. In the past, there has been talk of a "special drill" reaching the workers, but according to the BBC, they now hope to reach with drills from two sides.
The Government of India has contacted the group that, in a high-profile case, rescued a soccer team consisting of twelve boys from a cave in Thailand five years ago, writes The Guardian.
The tunnel in India collapsed last weekend as a result of a landslide.
