Rescue teams in Nepal successfully pulled two workers alive from a mud-clogged hydropower tunnel on Friday, nine days after massive floods swept through the remote Himalayan region in late August. The operation marks a rare successful rescue amidst a disaster that severely impacted infrastructure across multiple local projects.
Local authorities report that approximately 900 workers remain missing from 12 hydropower projects in the country. Among the missing, roughly 500 individuals are believed to still be trapped inside debris-blocked tunnels connected to these facilities as search and rescue efforts continue.
