印度北阿坎德邦毗湿奴格德-皮帕尔科蒂水电项目的在建隧道周四晚发生坍塌，造成至少7名工人死亡[1]。事故发生在恰莫里县，当时有22名工人在隧道内作业[1]。
根据救援进展，12名工人已成功获救，但仍有3人下落不明[1]。国家和地方灾难应急部队、印藏边境警察及消防队已启动搜救行动[1]。国家灾难应急部队指挥官阿密特·拉尔·米纳表示，救援队到达现场时发现"隧道内有大量水，水也从两侧渗入。自那以后，水位已大幅上升"[1]。
2023年北阿坎德邦曾发生隧道坍塌事故，41名工人被困17天后获救[1]。
A tunnel under construction at the Vishnugad-Pipalkoti hydroelectric project in Chamoli district, Uttarakhand state in northern India, collapsed Thursday evening, claiming at least 7 lives [1]. Of the 22 workers inside the tunnel at the time of the incident, 12 have been rescued while 3 remain missing [1]. National and regional disaster response teams, along with border police and fire services, are conducting ongoing search and rescue operations [1].
The collapse presented significant challenges for rescue efforts, with substantial water accumulation inside the tunnel compounding difficulties. According to Amit Lal Mina, commander of the national disaster response unit, "When our teams arrived at the site and began operations, there was large amounts of water in the tunnel, and water was also seeping in from the sides. Since then, the water level has risen significantly" [1]. A similar incident occurred in Uttarakhand in 2023, when 41 workers were trapped in a tunnel for 17 days before being rescued [1].
