The bodies of three trapped workers were recovered from a coal mine in Assam’s Dima Hasao district, raising the total to four. Rescue operations continue as authorities work to dewater the mine that was abandoned 12 years ago.

Public sector undertaking Coal India has deployed a high-capacity pump with a 500 GPM (gallons per minute) capacity to dewater the mine at Assam’s Dima Hasao district where efforts are on to search the trapped labourers.
