The bodies were found when the National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) went to see the water level of the mine. Ongoing efforts are to rescue the other trapped workers from the flooded rat-hole coal mine in Umrangso, Dima Hasao district of Assam. One dead body was identified as Lijan Magar, a resident of Umrangso. At the same time, the other worker's identity is still not confirmed as his body was recovered just a few minutes before.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma informed through his X account, "Rescue efforts continue in Umrangso with unwavering resolve. Tragically, another body was recovered this morning, with the identity yet to be confirmed. Our hearts go out to the grieving as we hold onto hope and
strength during this difficult time."
The first dead body of a worker was recovered on Wednesday by the Indian Navy and other agencies working tirelessly at the mine. The worker was identified as Ganga Bahadur Shrestha, a Nepal National.
