Rasuwa, September 6 The search for 93 employees and workers missing from the Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project has been expanded beyond the project’s powerhouse to nearby forests and difficult mountain terrain. An eight-member team of experienced rock climbers has been deployed to search areas where workers may have fled to escape the flood, including forests around the Ghattekhola camp. The project company said it mobilised skilled personnel associated with the Nepal National Mountain Guide Association through its own efforts. An eight-member team from Himalaya Summit Club Pvt Ltd is carrying out ground searches in the area. According to company secretary Narnath Neupane, the team initially searched around Timure before being flown by helicopter to Ghattekhola, where it continued the search from 7:30 am on Saturday. “We suspect that some may have fled uphill into the forest to escape the flood,” Neupane said.
