On January 27, Navy divers recovered a second body from the flooded rat-hole coal mine in the state where the miners have been trapped since December 13 last year.According to the Navy officials, the second body was detected 280 feet inside the mine in East Jaintia Hills by its diving team.
The first body was found on January 26.The miners were trapped in the illegal mine in Lumthari village when water from the nearby Lytein river flooded the mine. Since then, a multi-agency rescue operation has been underway to evacuate the miners.
