💨 Abstract

Five coal miners remain trapped in an abandoned quarry in Assam's Dima Hasao district, with the chances of their survival diminishing as dewatering operations enter the eighth day. Nine workers were trapped on January 6, with four bodies recovered so far. The mine is being dewatered using specialized equipment brought in by ONGC and Coal India, but it is unclear when the water will be cleared or when rescue operations will resume.
