Two Workers Rescued From Nepal Hydropower Tunnel After Floods

Nepali rescue teams pulled two workers alive from the debris-buried Trishuli 3A hydropower tunnel on September 4, 2026, nine days after the August 26 glacial collapse floods.

The national death toll from the flash floods has risen to 1,282, with authorities reporting that 4,798 people remain missing across various affected regions.

Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan held a review meeting with Himalayan states to address risks from 40 identified high-hazard glacial lakes and improve early warning systems for future disasters.
