Rescue Efforts Underway After Nepal Floods Expose Hidden Hydropower Tunnel Risks As monsoon rains continue to batter Nepal, a devastating flash flood has exposed long hidden risks in the country's hydropower infrastructure.
The worst hit region is the Sindhupalchok district, where at least 20 lives have been lost and over a thousand more are still stranded, with many feared trapped inside a collapsed tunnel.
Rescue teams from Nepal and neighboring India are racing against time to reach those who need help. However, their efforts are being hindered by rising water levels and severed communication lines in several areas.
