Nepal tunnel survivor finds solace in village homecoming

Sanjay Sah, a survivor who was trapped inside a hydropower tunnel for nine days following a disaster last month, has returned to his family in his home village in Nepal. His homecoming comes as the local community continues to mourn other workers who remain missing from the incident.

The event occurs in the broader context of a major regional crisis in Nepal, triggered weeks earlier by a Himalayan glacier collapse near the Chinese border. The wider disaster has resulted in at least 1,386 deaths, with 5,130 people still reported missing across the country.
