A body has been recovered from a flooded coal mine in the 3 Kilo area of Umrangso, where nine workers became trapped on January 6.

The mine is believed to be illegal, and one person has been arrested in connection with the incident. The authorities are working to pump out water from the mine using high-power pumps, with the water level reported to have decreased to about 100 feet. #UmrangsoMine #CoalMineTragedy #RescueOperations #NDRF #IndianNavyDivers #FloodedMine #IllegalMining #MiningAccident #TrappedWorkers #WaterPumpRescue #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Bengaluru Building Collapse: Death Toll Rises To 5, 13 Rescued; Dog Squad Deployed :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-building-collapse-death-toll-rises-to-5-13-rescued-dog-squad-deployed-3967627.html?ref=DMDesc Worker Dies and 14 Rescued After Bengaluru Building Collapse During Heavy Rains :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/worker-dead-building-collapse-bengaluru-011-3967473.html?ref=DMDesc Building Collapse In Delhi's Jahangirpuri: Several Feared Trapped :: https://www.oneindia.com/new-delhi/building-collapse-in-delhis-jahangirpuri-several-feared-trapped-3896193.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.362~HT.103~HT.336~GR.125~
