KATHMANDU, Nepal (AFP)—Nepali rescuers clung to hopes of finding survivors trapped in hydropower tunnels on Wednesday, two weeks after deadly flooding triggered by a glacial mountain collapse.

“The rescue and search work in the tunnels at Trishuli 3A, 3B and Chilime hydropower projects is ongoing,” Nepal Army spokesman Raja Ram Basnet told AFP.
