An 11-member Indian technical team surveyed flood-hit hydropower tunnels in Nepal on Saturday to help speed up the rescue of workers feared trapped inside. The team, including doctors, paramedics and tunnel engineers, inspected the affected Trishuli area after an aerial survey of the Chilime and Langtang regions. Nepalese security forces have rescued 191 workers from tunnels at various hydropower projects, but several people remain unaccounted for. Rescue operations have been hampered by mud, debris and bad weather. Nepal has also sought foreign expertise for DNA testing and help rebuilding bridges damaged in the devastating flash floods.
