Two workers were rescued alive after spending nine days trapped inside a hydropower tunnel in Nepal. Mechanical engineer Sanjay Sah and worker Kabir Maharjan were pulled out on Friday. They were trapped after flash floods hit the Trishuli-3A hydropower project. Sanjay was working in the control room when water and debris entered the tunnel. He helped other workers move to safer areas but later became trapped. Sanjay said he kept chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra during the ordeal. Rescue teams, including experts from India, found the workers after hearing voices inside the tunnel. Many workers are still feared trapped.
