Equipped with\u00a0torches, cameras, and ropes<\/strong>, Mahara and his team ventured deeper into the tunnels.

However, their exploration was halted when they encountered\u00a0blocked pathways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe descended about\u00a0100 meters<\/strong>, but two paths were blocked by stones. When we tried to remove them,\u00a0steam-like smoke<\/strong>\u00a0began to rise,\u201d Mahara explained.<\/p>\n
