Ten days trapped underground: this is how two workers were rescued alive in Nepal

Two workers were rescued alive from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydroelectric plant in northern Nepal after being trapped for ten days. The men had been buried since a catastrophic landslide occurred in the Himalayan region on August 26. Rescuers successfully reached the survivors on Friday, an event described by observers as unexpected given the duration of their entrapment.

Upon his rescue, one of the survivors, Sanjay Sah, indicated he had lost track of time, believing only nine days had passed. He reported surviving the ordeal by reciting mantras while confined underground. The rescue operation marks a rare success following the severe natural disaster that impacted the region.
