They were trapped inside the container as the avalanche was recking havoc but were lucky enough that there were enough oxygen inside the container to sustain them through out the period until they were rescued by the rescue team.

After close to 60-hours operation that took place under very cold and freezing temperatures, the search and rescue operation finally came to an end on sunday.

According to the publication, a shed and eight metal containers were flung down the hillside by the avalanche's ferocity.
Hospitals in the state's cities of Rishikesh and Joshimath are treating a large number of the rescued workers.
