Two hydropower workers rescued alive after nine days trapped in Nepal tunnel

Two hydropower workers have been rescued alive from a flood-buried tunnel in Rasuwa, Nepal, after being trapped for nine days following floods that struck the area on August 26. The rescue operations, documented by Nepal Army images and confirmed by officials, involved pulling the workers from the tunnel on Friday during an ongoing rescue effort.

The successful extraction comes over a week after the initial disaster struck the region. The operation highlights the ongoing response to the late-August flooding that affected Nepal's hydropower infrastructure and left workers stranded.
