Two Workers Rescued from Nepal Hydropower Tunnel Amid Ongoing Flood Rescue Efforts
Nine days after devastating floods in Nepal's Trishuli valley, two hydropower workers were rescued alive from the debris-filled Upper Trishuli 3A tunnel, renewing hope for others trapped underground. Rescue efforts involve Nepalese authorities, Indian, Chinese, and South Korean teams using heavy machinery, controlled blasts, and a WhatsApp group of over 500 engineers sharing technical maps and expertise. The disaster has killed over 1,280 people, with more than 5,000 missing, including hundreds believed trapped in hydropower tunnels. Indian teams continue to assist in draining water and clearing debris at sites like Chilime to advance rescue operations.
