Rescue search in Nepal focused on workers trapped in three tunnels

Jutarnji listIndependentCenter3 hr. ago

Rescue efforts in Nepal have focused on three tunnels of a hydroelectric plant where authorities believe dozens of workers may be trapped, two weeks after a devastating flood that killed hundreds and left thousands missing in Nepal and neighboring Tibetan regions. The disaster occurred on August 26 when a glacier collapsed into a river along the border between Nepal and China, blocking tunnel entrances with debris. Rescue teams are prioritizing the Chilime hydroelectric plant, where facilities like a cafeteria and accommodation suggest people might be trapped. Additional focus is on the interconnected Upper Trishuli 3A and 3B projects. So far, four people have been rescued, including a Chinese national and two Nepali workers. At least 1,399 people are confirmed dead, with over 5,400 still missing, according to recent reports.
