Tarbela T-5 work halted after protective bund breach floods tunnel
A protective bund at Pakistan’s Tarbela 5th Extension hydropower project breached on Monday, flooding Tunnel Five. Officials said all workers were evacuated, one was rescued from the water, and no casualties were reported. Construction was suspended indefinitely pending an inquiry. This was not a failure of the main Tarbela Dam.
