CLOver 500 workers are believed to be trapped in hydroelectric tunnels buried under mud caused by catastrophic floods in Nepal and Tibet, China, which have killed more than 900 people and left thousands missing. Rescue efforts are underway at several damaged hydropower projects in the mountainous regions of Rasuwa and Nuwakot districts. According to the Association of Independent Power Producers of Nepal (IPPAN), approximately 900 workers remain unaccounted for across 12 affected projects, with estimates suggesting at least 500 are trapped in tunnels. Some experts believe the tunnels could provide temporary shelter and oxygen, but concerns grow over time as survival chances diminish. The Nepalese military and international rescue teams are working to locate and extract survivors, while the death toll continues to rise.
