Kabir Maharjan’s family had waited 10 days for news of his fate. On Thursday, that wait ended when a joint team from the Nepal Army and Armed Police Force brought him out alive from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3-A Hydropower Project.

Kabir became trapped after a devastating flood in the Bhotekoshi River in Rasuwa. He has since been taken to Chhauni Hospital, where his younger brother Amir and the rest of the family were heading to see him.

Speaking to Onlinekhabar, Amir described the rescue as a moment of overwhelming relief. “There are no words to describe how happy everyone in the family is,” he said. “It is beyond anything we can express in words.”

There are no words to describe how happy everyone in the family is. It is beyond anything we can express in words.

· Amir MaharjanKabir Maharjan’s younger brother described the family’s reaction after the rescue.

Amir said the family had followed updates through the media because they could not travel to the site and search for Kabir themselves. Kabir worked at the hydropower project and regularly reported to the tunnel as his duty station. The family never imagined that he could become trapped there, Amir said, adding that the situation still felt unbelievable.

He also thanked the Nepal Army, Armed Police Force and rescue experts involved in the operation, as well as the friends and relatives who supported the family. The family was eager to meet Kabir after learning that he was safe.

We never imagined that something like this could happen. It still feels unbelievable.
