Three Feared Trapped in Illegal Hazaribag Coal Mine

Three Feared Trapped in Illegal Hazaribag Coal Mine

In Hazaribag, India, three people are stuck inside an illegal coal mine.

The mine collapsed after heavy rain on Wednesday evening.

Rescue teams were called, but they hadn't arrived by Thursday evening.

The authorities are working to find the missing individuals.

The mine had been shut down last month, but part of it reopened after the rain.

Officials are unsure if the trapped people were swept away by flood water.

The government is trying to find and rescue them.
