Multiple agencies, including the Navy and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), have joined the rescue operations to save the eight remaining workers inside the illegal rat-hole mine in Dima Hasao.

Six workers are still trapped in the mine while the bodies of two others, whose deaths were confirmed by the state government, are yet to be recovered.

Additionally, four deep divers from the Navy also went inside the flooded shaft to find the trapped miners, the official said.
