Indian Tunnel Rescue Teams Advance at Flood-Hit Nepal Hydropower Sites
India's specialised tunnel rescue teams have made progress at two flood-damaged hydropower sites in Nepal, establishing a foothold inside a tunnel at Chilime and probing up to 185 metres at Langtang. Working alongside the Nepali Army despite challenging weather and access, these teams assist in locating workers believed trapped underground after the August 26 flash floods. International teams from China, the US, and Singapore are also aiding Nepal's rescue efforts amid widespread devastation and missing persons.
