Nepal Army images show two hydropower workers rescued alive after nine days trapped inside a flood-buried tunnel in Rasuwa.
The workers, identified as Sanjay Sah and Kabir Maharjan, were found about 170 metres inside the Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel in Rasuwa district. Rescuers heard voices before reaching them and brought both men out alive on Friday. They were taken to hospital for treatment.
The rescue offers fresh hope for others still missing from hydropower sites. Hundreds of workers are believed to remain trapped in tunnels blocked by flood debris, while teams continue clearing entrances and searching underground.
