SHILLONG: It has been a month since 15 miners got trapped in an illegal rat-hole coal mine in the East Jaintia Hills. As concerted efforts to rescue them continue, there has been no headway made yet.The Indian Navy, National Disaster Rescue Force (NDRF) and other agencies, including the Coal India Limited, Kirloskar Brothers Limited have been continuing with the rescue efforts to try and trace the miners trapped in the flooded coal mine with no positive outcome.The 15 miners, three of who were natives of Meghalaya and the rest from Assam, went inside the rat-hole mine on December 13 last year. With no light in sight, the Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and the state government to take help of experts in the rescue operations to trace out the miners.The state government apprised the apex court of the various hurdles, including continuing flooding of the coal pit that were posing challenges to the rescue operators. Meanwhile, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Friday asked the Meghalaya government to either stop illegal coal mining in the state or face contempt of court.A three-member NGT committee, headed by Justice BP Katakey, also took stock of the rescue operations to evacuate the 15 miners who have been trapped inside an illegal flooded coal mine in East Jaintia Hills district.The NGT, which had banned unscientific coal mining in Meghalaya four years ago, recently imposed a fine of Rs 100 crore on the Meghalaya government for its failure to curb illegal coal mining in the state. The case of the missing miners will be taken up for hearing again in the Supreme Court on January 18.In an unfortunate incident, a bus ferrying personnel of the Odisha Fire Services was pelted with stones by miscreants at Lumshnong area in East Jaintia Hills district during the road blockade called by Confederation of Hynñiewtrep Social Organization on Thursday night to protest the Citizenship Amendment Bill.No one was injured in the attack but the window panes of the bus were partially damaged.The Odisha Fire Services personnel are being deployed to assist other agencies involved in the rescue operation to evacuate miners who are trapped inside the coal mine at Khloo Ryngksan.
