The unchanged level of murky water has affected the operations to rescue at least eight miners trapped inside a rat-hole coal mine in Assam’s Dima Hasao district since the morning of January 6.

GUWAHATI: Murky water and a static water level, despite continuous dewatering, have posed significant challenges to agencies attempting to rescue miners trapped in a rat-hole coal mine in Assam’s Dima Hasao district.

Additionally, four deep divers from the Navy also went inside the flooded shaft to find the trapped miners, the official said.
