The Teesta-VI tunnel methane blast

最初掌握的資訊

• All 25 trapped workers are confirmed dead; the last body was recovered on Thursday, July 23.
• Methane trapped in rock is the suspected cause, and NHPC's own 2024 paper recorded gas fires in the Teesta-VI tunnels before the blast.

當時尚無定論

• The full cause, whether any workers were warned of gas hazards, and whether the 2024 paper's findings triggered any safety changes.
• The composition of the Sikkim government's high-level committee and its terms of reference.
• Whether any criminal or regulatory proceedings will follow the committee's findings.

我們說過將關注的

• The high-level committee's findings — and whether NHPC's 2024 paper becomes a central exhibit.
• Whether other NHPC tunnel projects face renewed safety review after this disaster.
• Compensation disbursement to the families of the 25 dead.
