Nepal: Mortal Remains of Five People Extricated From Chilime Tunnel - The Tribune
- Mortal remains of five people were recovered from the Chilime Tunnel after rescue operations following the Bhotekoshi floods on August 26, with no survivors found, according to the Indian Ambassador to Nepal.
- Rescue teams progressed over 150 metres into the roughly 220-metre Chilime Tunnel, facing difficulties due to the tunnel's negative slope and proximity to a large river, which required construction of access roads and escape routes.
- The negative slope of the Chilime Tunnel caused water and debris to remain inside, complicating rescue efforts.
- Nepal's Ministry of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation formed a seven-member expert committee led by Devesh Belbase to investigate the Tibet-Nepal floods, with a two-month deadline for their report.
