💨 Abstract

Eight miners remain trapped in an abandoned coal mine in Assam's Dima Hasao district since January 6. Dewatering operations continue to facilitate rescue attempts. The mine, legally owned by Assam Mineral Development Corporation, was declared abandoned 12 years ago. The 'sardar' of workers was arrested, while the leader who fled after the flood is also detained. Nine workers are believed to be trapped, with one body recovered so far.
