16 days on, Navy divers join in to rescue Meghalaya miners

A 15-member team of Indian Navy divers joined 21 firefighters from Odisha in Meghalaya’s Ksan village to assist the National Disaster Response Force in evacuating 15 miners who are trapped inside a flooded illegal coal pit for over two weeks now. Families are praying for their safe return, but chances of survival look slim after flood waters rushed through the illegal 'rat-hole' pit in Meghalaya.
