Print Edition
A 101-YEAR-OLD man was pulled alive from the rubble of his house in Nepal seven days after it collapsed, police said yesterday.
Funchu Tamang was rescued on Saturday with only minor injuries and airlifted to a district hospital, local police officer Arun Kumar Singh told reporters.
“He was brought to the district hospital in a helicopter. His condition is stable,” said Singh in the Nuwakot district some 80 kilometers northwest of Kathmandu. “He has injuries on his left ankle and hand. His family is with him.”
Police also rescued three women from rubble yesterday in Sindupalchowk, one of the districts worst hit by the quake, although it was not immediately known how long they had been trapped.
One had been buried by a landslide while the other two were under the rubble of a collapsed house.
“They are being taken to hospital for treatment,” a police officer said.
On Saturday, Nepal’s government had ruled out finding more survivors in the ruins of Kathmandu.
