A group of men experienced a harrowing escape from flooded hydroelectric tunnels. One of them, Ram Chandra, clung to a step embedded in the tunnel ceiling as water, concrete, and debris rushed in. His quick reaction likely saved his life. He and his companions were hundreds of meters from the exit.

The men used a metal sheet to support their feet as they slowly made their way forward, passing it among themselves. Further details of their ordeal are available from the source.

The incident occurred while the men were working near the Trishuli river.
