The Nepali Army has stated that the road leading to the tunnel of the Chilime Hydropower Project has been reopened. According to the Nepal Army, the road has been cleared to allow heavy equipment to reach the tunnel.<\/p>\n

The Army said that a joint team, including foreign personnel, is currently working at the hydropower project. According to the Army, the teams are currently engaged in removing mud and debris from the site.<\/p>\n

Similarly, search operations are underway at the Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project through a Composite Quick Reaction Team and a joint search-and-rescue team that includes foreign personnel, the Army said.<\/p>\n
