Kathmandu : Six bodies have been recovered from the tunnel of the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Rasuwa during a search operation for people who went missing following the devastating flood in the Bhotekoshi River.
According to the Nepali Army, the bodies were found trapped inside the steel reinforcement mesh installed for concrete work in the Audit-3 tunnel of the project.
A joint rescue team, including representatives of the hydropower project, used grinders, gas cutters and rotary rescue equipment to retrieve the bodies, the Army said.
