00:00At least nine miners were trapped in a flooded coal mine in Assam, India, on Tuesday, with
00:07the exact number still being determined and potentially increasing.
00:11The local government stated that three bodies have been spotted by rescue teams, but have
00:16not yet been recovered.
00:17Our primary target is to find the people who are trapped in the coal mine.
00:22We have received the names of nine people, or it could be more or less, but we have the
00:28names of nine people, so our priority is to find them.
00:33Rescue teams deployed divers using a pulley system to lower them into a large shaft leading
00:38to the mine.
00:39The Army also came, and we went down with them.
00:42Our team has gone down again and is searching for as many divers as possible, and if we
00:49find any victims there, we will be very happy, because we have come for the purpose of evacuating
00:56the trapped miners.
01:03According to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, the mine appeared to be illegal,
01:09and that police had arrested one person as they investigate the case.
