A dramatic rescue has brought a rare moment of hope amid Nepal’s devastating floods. Two workers, identified as Sanjay and Kabir, have been rescued after spending nine days trapped deep inside a tunnel at the Trishuli hydropower project. With no food, water, light or adequate air, the two men survived as mud and debris blocked their escape. The rescue comes as catastrophic flash floods along Nepal’s Tibet border have killed more than 1,200 people and left thousands unaccounted for, including workers at the 60-megawatt hydropower project. Rescue teams from the Nepalese Army and Armed Police Force continue searching for survivors despite dangerous weather and further flooding risks. India has also sent additional rescue personnel and humanitarian aid to support relief efforts. Experts say the disaster also highlights a wider Himalayan challenge: shrinking glaciers, extreme events and the urgent need for better cross-border data sharing, early-warning systems and round-the-clock disaster coordination. Josh Barnes brings you the full report on Firstpost Live.
