RASUWA: As many as 17 labors have been trapped inside the tunnel of the under construction Rasuwagadhi Hydro Project on Thursday night.

The dry landslide occurred at 8:30 pm yesterday. “Eleven Nepalis and six Chinese nationals are among those trapped inside the tunnel. It was not possible to rescue at night. We start rescue operation since early Friday,” said Assistant Chief District Officer of Rasuwa district Sapana Kumari Bhattarai.
