Miners Rescue

Russian emergency workers on Monday ended a rescue operation at a mine in the country's Far East where 13 workers have been trapped for two weeks, state media reported.

The bodies of ten more miners were pulled from a collapsed coal pit in southern Pakistan on Wednesday, officials said, bringing the death count to 12 after the rescue bid ended.

A teenage daughter of rat-hole mining expert Wakeel Hasan, who was involved in rescuing 41 labourers in Uttarakhand last year, missed her exam on Thursday due to the chaos caused by the demolition of their house, her family members claimed.

Hours after razing his house in a demolition drive in Delhi, the DDA offered to move Wakeel Hassan, a rat-hole miner who was part of the Silkyara tunnel rescue operation, and his family to an EWS flat at Narela but he declined the offer.

One of the houses that was razed in the Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) recent demolition drive belonged to Vakeel Hasan, a rat-hole miner who played a key role in the Uttarakhand tunnel rescue operation last year.

The rat-hole miners who played a vital role in evacuating 41 workers trapped in the Silkyara tunnel have refused to encash the cheques of Rs 50,000 given to them recently by Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami.

Rescuers have pulled out all 41 workers trapped for 17 days inside a collapsed Uttarakhand tunnel after rat miners drilled through the debris, triggering jubilation. The focus will now be on what led to the collapse and why the rescue took so long.

The rat miners who made the breakthrough in Uttarakhand, digging the last 12 metre stretch in less than 24 hours, had beaten expectations," said Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain, a member of NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority).

Rat-hole miners emerged as the heroes as they drilled with their hands to safely evacuate all 41 workers trapped in a collapsed Uttarakhand tunnel.

Forty-one labourers, trapped in a tunnel in Uttarakhand for 17 days, are expected to be evacuated shortly. The breakthrough came after "rat miners" were brought in around 7 last evening. They have to manually dig the last stretch of 12 meters.

A team of "rat-hole miners" began manual drilling operations yesterday to reach the 41 workers trapped within the debris of the collapsed Silkyara tunnel in Uttarakhand's Uttarkashi as rescue ops entered Day 17.

Manual horizontal drilling has started at the Uttarakhand tunnel where 41 men have been trapped for more than two weeks, the authorities have said.

News agency Reuters reported that all nine men came out within two minutes and are well.

Twenty workers were saved and two bodies recovered on Friday from a flooded coal mine after a dramatic rescue operation lasting over two days, officials said.
