🚨 Urgent Rescue Mission in Assam, India!
Imagine heading to work and suddenly finding yourself trapped underground! That's the terrifying reality for nine miners in India's northeastern Assam state. Since Monday, these brave souls have been stuck inside a flooded coal mine in the hilly Dima Hasao district, and rescue teams are racing against time to bring them back to safety.
Three bodies have been spotted by the rescue teams, but haven't been recovered yet. The local government shared this heartbreaking news in a recent statement.
The Indian Army has stepped up big time! They've deployed divers, helicopters, and engineers to tackle this challenging mission. According to an official army statement, their teams are working tirelessly through the night, using ropes, cranes, and all the equipment they've got.
Mayank Kumar, the district police chief, explained the situation: \"The mine got flooded yesterday – the source was internal. They probably hit some water channel, and water came out and flooded it.\" Sounds like something straight out of an action movie, right? But sadly, this is real life.
Coal mine accidents aren't uncommon in this remote part of India. Back in 2019, at least 15 miners were buried in a similar disaster in the neighboring state of Meghalaya. It's a tough reminder of the dangers these workers face every day.
Our thoughts are with the miners and their families. 🧡 Let's hope for a miracle and a successful rescue soon!
