India and Nepal Conduct Joint Tunnel Rescue Operations at Flood-Hit Hydropower Sites
India's specialised tunnel rescue teams are working alongside the Nepali Army at flood-affected hydropower sites in Chilime and Langtang, Nepal. Despite challenging weather and terrain, they have established a foothold inside the Chilime tunnel and probed up to 185 meters into the Langtang tunnel. These joint efforts aim to locate and rescue workers trapped following severe floods on August 26, which caused significant damage and casualties. Indian Ambassador Naveen Srivastava has met rescue teams and Nepali officials to coordinate ongoing operations.
