   Two Hydropower Workers Rescued From Tunnel in Nepal

   Rescue teams in Nepal pulled two hydropower workers alive from a flood-buried tunnel in Rasuwa on Friday, offering a rare ray of hope on the tenth day of operations following catastrophic Himalayan flooding. Sanjaya Shah and Kabir Maharjan survived nine days trapped underground. Their extraction follows a separate rescue involving a young girl who spent nearly 60 hours in rubble after floodwaters washed away her house. Search crews and foreign specialists continue scouring devastated plant tunnels for scores of missing workers, while an army of experts coordinates relief efforts via a WhatsApp group.

   Why it matters

   Massive flash floods struck Himalayan regions more than a week ago, leaving extensive damage and numerous missing persons, particularly around hydropower facilities. Recovery operations face severe challenges inside debris-choked tunnels, though tunneling experts suggest specific pockets within the subterranean structures might retain air and survivable conditions. The disaster has drawn specialized foreign assistance alongside the Nepal Army to locate trapped individuals.

   What is confirmed

   • Two hydropower workers were rescued alive on Friday after nine days trapped inside a flood-buried tunnel in Rasuwa.
   • The two rescued workers are Sanjaya Shah and Kabir Maharjan.
   • A tunneling expert told the BBC that a Goldilocks zone may hold more survivors.
   • An army of experts in a WhatsApp group is guiding rescue workers scouring a Nepali valley.

   Still unconfirmed

   • Scores of missing workers are feared trapped alive inside hydropower tunnels, with hopes fading for a quick rescue operation.

   What to watch next

   • Further rescues from the hydropower tunnels
   • Updates on scores of missing workers
   • Assessments from foreign specialists and tunneling experts regarding survivable zones
