A local police chief and a lawmaker said voices have been heard from inside the tunnels of the stricken plant, after the disaster trapped hundreds of workers inside multiple Himalayan energy projects.

• Death toll: The number of people killed in Nepal following the flash floods now exceeds 1,290.

• Warning signs: A report says the glacier that collapsed, triggering the devastating floods, showed visible signs of instability days before the disaster , including brown meltwater and cracks in the surrounding bedrock.

Man rescued, voices heard at Nepali power plant where scores trapped

A man has been rescued from inside the tunnels of a stricken Nepali hydropower plant, where more voices have been heard, local officials told CNN, nine days after massive flash floods and landslides trapped hundreds of workers inside multiple Himalayan energy projects.

In a dramatic breakthrough for what has been a desperate, round-the-clock rescue effort in treacherous conditions, the man was pulled from inside the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant, where an operation has been underway to bore into a tunnel to search for 42 workers that were unaccounted for.

“Rescuers heard voices,” said Bipin Regmi, police chief in the flood-hit district of Nuwakot told CNN, adding a medical team was on its way to the site.

The tunnel that leads to the underground powerhouse there, where dozens of people were working when the catastrophic flood hit, is more than four kilometers (2.5 miles) long.

Hopes had been fading for the safe rescue of the workers at the plants that run along Nepal’s Trishuli River – among them foreigners from China, South Korea and India. A torrent of cement-like floodwater had engulfed the river and its surrounding areas, killing more than 1,200 people in Nepal.

一名男子获救，尼泊尔发电厂内传出人声，此前数十人被困。

据当地官员向 CNN 透露，一名男子已从尼泊尔一座受损水电站的隧道内获救，隧道内还传出更多人声。此前，大规模山洪和山体滑坡已导致数百名工人被困在喜马拉雅山脉多个能源项目中长达九天。

在危险条件下，经过不懈的、昼夜不停的救援行动，救援工作取得了戏剧性的突破。这名男子被从特里苏里 3A 水电站内部救出。此前，救援人员一直在该电站内挖掘隧道，搜寻 42 名下落不明的工人。

“救援人员听到了人声，”受洪水侵袭的努瓦科特地区警察局长比平·雷格米告诉 CNN，并补充说，一支医疗队正在赶往现场。

通往地下发电厂的隧道长达四公里（2.5英里），灾难性洪水来袭时，数十人正在那里工作。

人们一度对尼泊尔特里苏里河沿岸工厂工人的安全获救抱有渺茫希望，​​这些工人中包括来自中国、韩国和印度的外国人。一股如同水泥般汹涌的洪水淹没了河流及其周边地区，在尼泊尔造成超过1200人死亡。
