Nepal's army carried out a rescue operation and managed to save hundreds of people who were trapped in a hydroelectric power plant tunnel that became flooded. Authorities continue working at the site to try to find more survivors.
More than 1,500 people remain missing after the incident. The situation remains grave as rescue teams face difficulties in search and rescue operations inside the tunnel.
The Nepali community in the diaspora, particularly in New York, has been holding vigils in memory of the victims. Diaspora members express their grief while following from afar the development of the tragedy in their country of origin.
