Solace and Sacrifice in Nepal's Tunnel of Sorrow The story of Sanjay Sah, one of only three survivors of the devastating glacier collapse in Nepal, serves as a stark reminder of the human cost behind the country's hydropower ambitions.
After nine days trapped in a tunnel and a week in hospital, Sah returned to his village, bringing both relief and grief to his community.
The scale of the disaster is still unfolding: at least 1,386 people have died, and over 5,000 remain missing. Many workers from hydropower stations are unaccounted for, including Sah's relatives.
