2 rescued alive from Nepal's hydropower tunnel 9 days after flash floods trapped workers
According to the officials, the two men were identified as a mechanical foreman and a mechanical supervisor.
On August 26, a flash flood struck Nepal, trapping workers inside the Trishul 3A tunnel for nine days. On Friday, Nepal Army Brigadier General Raja Ram Basnet announced that two men - Sanjay Shah and Kabir Maharjan - were rescued alive. The rescue team comprised a joint operation between the army and other rescue agencies. The men, identified as a mechanical foreman and supervisor, were placed under medical observation after their rescue.
The men were found covered in mud, with one being carried on a rescuer's shoulder. Further search and rescue operations are ongoing in the area, specifically in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa.
