EFFORTS TO TRACE TRAPPED MINERS IN MEGHALAYA FAIL TO YIELD RESULTS

摘要

Lumthari (Meghalaya): Thirteen people remain trapped in a flooded illegal mine in Meghalaya's East Jaintia hills district even a day after the incident as efforts to pump out water, which has been continuing since Thursday, failed to yield any result. After the incident came to light on Thursday morning, a pump was pressed into service around 4 pm that day and is being switched off every three hours to give it a rest, officials said Friday.
