Two Workers Rescued Alive from Nepal Hydropower Tunnel After Flash Floods
Two workers, Sanjay Sah and Kabir Maharjan, were rescued alive from the Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel in Nepal nine to ten days after devastating flash floods triggered by an ice-rock avalanche on August 26. The rescue followed rescuers hearing voices inside the tunnel and establishing communication. Both men were trapped about 170 meters inside the tunnel and have been taken to hospitals for treatment. The floods have caused over 1,280 deaths and left hundreds missing, with ongoing search efforts for more survivors in the region.
