One worker has been successfully rescued alive from a tunnel in Nepal, an official confirmed. This rescue operation occurred nine days after a flash flood disaster impacted the region, trapping individuals within a hydropower tunnel.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, with engineers reportedly utilizing a WhatsApp group to coordinate and guide operations. The broader flood crisis has led to a significant increase in the death toll, which now stands at 1,252 across Nepal.
In the affected areas, mourners have begun holding symbolic cremations for loved ones who remain missing. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
