Rescue Efforts Ongoing at Nepal Hydropower Projects Amid Floods; Missing Workers SearchedPreviousNext

Rescue operations continue in Nepal following floods affecting multiple hydropower projects. At the Trishuli Hydropower Project, efforts have entered their fifth day to save workers trapped inside a debris-blocked tunnel, with over 350 rescued so far. Meanwhile, a search at the Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project tunnel found no survivors among 93 missing workers. Rescue teams, including experts from India, China, and South Korea, are using drones, drilling, and heavy machinery to locate and assist trapped personnel amid challenging conditions caused by heavy rainfall and rising river levels.
