15 Meghalaya miners trapped for 2 weeks, pumps to take 4 more days
A Coal India official has said that moving big pumps to the Meghalaya mine, where 15 miners are trapped since December 13, would take another 3-4 days. Further, a diver reported a foul smell from the mine, likely due to decomposed bodies. The 71-personnel-strong rescue team was able to reach 30 feet of the 70 feet water with available pumps.
