Public sector undertaking Coal India has deployed a high-capacity pump with a 500 GPM (gallons per minute) capacity to dewater the mine at Assam’s Dima Hasao district where efforts are on to search the trapped labourers.

Indian authorities have summoned the army to help rescue at least nine workers who are trapped inside a flooded coal mine in the country's northeastern Assam state.

Those whose bodies were recovered on Saturday have been identified as 27-year-old Lijen Magar, a resident of Umrangso, 57-year-old Khushi Mohan Rai from Fakiragram and 37-year-old Sarat Goyari hailing from Thailapara, according to The Hindu.

The four deceased labourers are among the nine workers trapped inside the coal mine in Umrangsu on Monday after a sudden gush of water flooded the quarry.

In the ongoing rescue efforts at the Umrangso coal mine in Assam, authorities have identified the three bodies recovered so far today.

The bodies of three workers, who were trapped inside a coal mine in Assam's Dima Hasao district, were recovered on Saturday from the quarry during rescue operations, an official said
