Rain, water seepage hamper efforts to save 5 trapped miners
An Indian Navy team on Sunday began assessing the coal mine in Meghalaya where five miners have been trapped since May 30. Frequent rainfall and underground water seeping in from inter-connected mines had affected the search and rescue operations in the Sutnga area of East Jaintia Hills district for almost a fortnight. The operation has been virtually a rerun of the December 2018 mine disaster at Ksan in the same district, in which at least 17 miners had perished.More Related News
