Nepal:  ⁠There is a high ​chance ​that dozens of workers may be found alive after a week trapped in ⁠an underground chamber at ⁠Nepal's Rasuwagadhi hydropower plant following deadly flash floods, a ‌Nepal Electricity ​Authority official said ⁠on Wednesday.
'In ​Rasuwagadhi, we think ‌46 people are ​trapped in a room-like structure in the tunnel,' Amhsu Kiran Shahi, a board member ‌of the Nepal ​Electricity Authority, told Reuters.
'We ​are ‌very ⁠confident that they must be alive ​after one week because ... ⁠they have ​food and water over there in the building.'
