Two workers who were buried in the Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel after last week’s catastrophic flash floods have been rescued alive, officials announced. The pair had been trapped at a depth of about 170 metres for nine days, their survival made possible by a coordinated effort involving the Nepalese army and rescue teams. The tunnel, located in a region hardest hit by the floods that turned the construction site into a river of mud, has been the focus of an ongoing operation to locate and extract the missing personnel. The successful rescue underscores both the severity of the disaster and the determination of responders to recover those still missing.
