In a grim development from Assam's Dima Hasao district, nine workers are trapped inside a 'rat hole' coal mine after water gushed into the 300-foot-deep quarry. The illegal mine is situated in Umrangso, a remote industrial town near the Meghalaya border, and the extent of the tragedy remains uncertain.
Water has filled approximately 100 feet of the mine, sources said, adding that it has severely hampered rescue efforts.
