Nepali foreman rescued from tunnel says he stayed behind to help others

A 30-year-old mechanical foreman, Sanjay Sah, was rescued after nine days trapped in a tunnel at the Upper Trishuli 3A hydropower plant — he stayed to warn others and says he chanted mantras to keep hope.
Nepal suffered a massive disaster: at least 1,287 killed, about 5,083 missing and thousands displaced after a wall of ice, rock and debris swept valleys; Tibet reported 21 dead and 541 missing.
Officials fear roughly 900 people remain trapped in tunnels across six hydropower projects; the two rescued workers are the first survivors pulled out and are in intensive care.
