Nine miners continued to remain trapped inside a coal mine near Umrangso in Assam’s Dima Hasao hill district even as deep divers from the Indian Navy joined the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) and army in the rescue mission.

“The Navy team is now spearheading the rescue efforts,” Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma posted on X sharing the updates.

The state government had requisitioned Navy deep divers from Visakhapatnam to assist in the rescue operation. Special DGP Harmeet Singh told media at the site that divers from army’s special forces, NDRF and SDRF had recced the entire area and shared their findings with the Navy divers. Earlier in the day, a statement issued by the state government said, “The bodies are yet to be recovered. Dewatering has been stopped for the time being.”

The mine with a 20 ft radius is about 300 ft deep and the water level inside it has risen to more than 100 ft. It is yet to be ascertained what caused the flooding.
