In a tragic turn of events, nine miners have been trapped in a flooded coal mine in Assam’s Dima Hasao district. This dangerous mine collapse has sparked a massive rescue operation involving the Assam Police, Army divers, and expert engineers.
As the waters continue to rise within the mine, time is of the essence in efforts to save the miners trapped deep within the structure. So far, three bodies have been spotted but have not yet been recovered due to the perilous conditions within the mine.
The authorities are determined to recover the remaining miners alive, but it is unclear how long the operation will take.
One person has been arrested in connection with the incident, and investigations are ongoing. The police believe the flooding may have been caused by irregularities in mine maintenance or illegal mining practices.
Authorities are also coordinating with local officials to assess the safety standards of other coal mines in the region. This incident has drawn attention to the growing dangers of unregulated mining operations and the need for more stringent safety protocols.
