Rescue Efforts Continue for Workers Trapped in Nepal Hydropower Floods Amid Infrastructure Damage
Rescue efforts continue in Nepal following devastating flash floods that trapped dozens of workers in hydropower tunnels. Officials are hopeful that 46 workers remain alive in a dry chamber at the Rasuwagadhi plant, supported by food and water supplies. Meanwhile, survivors allege a Chinese supervisor abandoned workers during the floods at the Trishuli-3A project, where many remain missing. Rescue teams face challenges from mud and debris blocking tunnels. The floods have also damaged hydropower infrastructure, disrupting electricity exports to Bangladesh and India.
