18 killed in Meghalaya illegal coal mine explosion, several feared trapped, Congress MP reacts

Описание: An explosion ripped through an illegal coal mine in Meghalaya’s East Jaintia Hills district, killing at least 18 labourers and leaving several others feared trapped in narrow underground tunnels, officials said. Rescue operations by the NDRF, SDRF and local police are underway amid hazardous conditions at the remote Thangsku site. The blast highlights long-standing safety and regulatory issues linked to “rat-hole” mining in the region. Authorities have ordered an inquiry, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced compensation for victims’ families.
