Kathmandu: Four people, including two Indians, who had gone missing after a huge mass of earth caved in at a tunnel site of the Arun III hydro power project in eastern Nepal, have been rescued after nearly 40 hours.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Nepalese counterpart K P Sharma Oli had last month jointly laid the foundation stone of the 900-megawatt plant in Tumlingtar area.
The mud mound at Numko Fyaisando tunnel had caved in and swept away the workers along with a dozer on Friday night.
The four were rescued after 39 hours and are undergoing treatment at a hospital, the police official said.
