2 trapped workers rescued alive from a tunnel in Nepal, officials say
The first rescues in the project came after rescuers heard voices from inside the tunnel and dug through 50 to 60 metres of debris, officials said.
- Emergency response crews successfully rescued two workers alive from a flooded tunnel at the Upper Trishuli 3A hydropower project in central Nepal.
- The rescue operations took place nine days after severe glacio-hydrological flooding struck the Trishuli River basin on August 26, trapping hundreds of staff in underground facilities.
- Rescuers extracted the individuals from a depth of approximately 170 meters following continuous excavator work to clear thick mud and heavy debris blocking the primary access shafts.
- Medical personnel at the site immediately provided emergency care to both survivors before transferring them to medical facilities for further observation.
- Defense officials report that specialized search teams are continuing efforts in surrounding tunnels where hundreds of missing workers remain unaccounted for.
