A portion of the Srisailam Left Bank Canal tunnel collapsed Saturday morning , causing water and mud to rush into the huge tunnel.

Officials have said that about 50 workers were inside the tunnel when part of its ceiling caved in.

Forty-three of them managed to escape, but eight were trapped underground.

The 27-mile -long tunnel would be one of the world's longest irrigation tunnels if it is completed.
