A rescue team has just pulled two workers to safety from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A Hydropower Project in central Nepal, a week after a massive flash flood devastated the region along the Nepal‑China border.
The flood, triggered by a sudden collapse of a nearby riverbank, inundated the tunnel facilities, trapping the occupants for several hours. Rescue operations began promptly and involved local firefighting units, a military helicopter, and several volunteer agencies.
Both workers are reported in stable condition. They suffered minor injuries and required medical check‑ups when transported to the nearest hospital.
The incident follows a series of disasters in the region, including a powerful earthquake earlier in the year and ongoing concerns about infrastructure integrity amid rising water levels.
