Trishuli-3A Tunnel Rescue to Continue Overnight

Rescue teams are preparing to work through the night to reach workers believed to be trapped inside an underground tunnel at the Trishuli-3A hydropower project.

The operation has entered a critical phase after rescuers located a cable access tunnel that could potentially provide a route to the trapped workers. However, teams have not yet been able to enter the tunnel, and no confirmed signs have been detected from inside.

A source at the rescue site said excavation would continue overnight to create an access route for rescuers.

Excavation and oxygen supply to continue

The rescue team plans to continue digging while also sending ventilation and oxygen into the tunnel.
