Everest Guides Enter Mud-Filled Nepal Tunnel in Bid to Rescue Trapped Workers

Experienced mountain guides and Everest veterans have joined flood rescue operations in Nepal's Rasuwa district following a disaster that wiped out road access. Specialist teams applied their expedition expertise to reach areas cut off by the flooding. Rescuers ventured roughly 120 metres into a mud-clogged hydropower tunnel, retrieving a camera bag in the process. Authorities concluded that heavy excavation machinery would be required to push further into the blocked passage. The broader operation is focused on locating workers believed to be trapped inside multiple hydropower tunnel systems in the region.

Design Flaws and Weak Soil Behind Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway Slippages

Structural slippages on the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway have been attributed to design flaws rather than construction defects, according to officials. A preliminary investigation found that weak, plastic soil beneath the expressway is a primary contributing factor. Inadequate drainage has also been identified as a key issue worsening the structural damage. The affected sections will need to be completely rebuilt from the ground up. Authorities are awaiting a final detailed investigation report before proceeding further.
