Rescuers successfully pulled out the workers in wheeled stretchers through a wide pipe pushed through the debris after a 17-day ordeal.

The evacuation began more than six hours after rescuers broke through debris in the tunnel in Uttarakhand state which caved in on Nov 12.

The 41 workers trapped for 17 days will need long-term support after their rescue, including monitoring for post-traumatic stress disorder.

The "rat miners", experts at a primitive, hazardous and controversial method used mostly to get at coal deposits through narrow passages.

Rescuers began drilling vertically from the top of a mountain under which 41 workers became trapped two weeks ago.

Rescue workers drilled 32 metres of an estimated 60 metres that must be cleared in order to push through a pipe for the men to crawl out.

Efforts to bring out the 41 men have been slowed by snags in drilling through the debris in the mountainous terrain.

The men have been stuck in the highway tunnel in Uttarakhand state since it caved in early on Nov. 12 and are safe, authorities said.

They have to cover a total distance of nearly 60 meters, to reach the 40 workers trapped inside for five days, officials said.

Rescue efforts have been focused on drilling through the fallen rock to create space for a pipe that can be used to pull the men to safety.

Huge boulders were blocking efforts to create an evacuation passage, officials said.

The trapped men are safe and healthy, authorities said, and are being supplied food, water and oxygen through a pipe.
