Kathmandu, Sept 4

Two people trapped inside the tunnel of the Trishuli 3A Hydropower Project have been rescued alive nine days after the massive flood in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa.

The Nepal Army and Armed Police Force rescued the two men from the project’s tunnel on Friday morning.

The rescued workers have been identified as 32-year-old Sanjay Sah of Saptari and 45-year-old Kabir Maharjan of Bal Kumari, Lalitpur.

Sah is a mechanical foreman at the Nepal Electricity Authority, while Maharjan is a supervisor at the authority.

According to Shri Ram Neupane, a Rastriya Swatantra Party lawmaker and engineer involved in the search and rescue operation, the two were brought out of the tunnel alive by 9:20 a.m. Friday.

The army provided them with first aid at the site before airlifting them to Kathmandu by helicopter. The search for others who may still be trapped inside the tunnel is continuing.
