Body of second trapped miner recovered at night Basia Maji’s family gets Rs 15 lakh compensation, job for wife
The body of the second trapped miner, Basia Maji, was recovered from Khudia colliery on Wednesday night confirming apprehensions that there would be no other survivor in the December 8 tragedy when the Eastern Coalfields (ECL) mine was flooded due to bore hole breach.
The special rescue team of six divers from Cuttack, led by former Indian Navy officer Pranab Kumar Biswal, which entered the mine in the evening, spotted Basia’s body in the BP incline of the mine at 11.50 pm. But it took over half an hour for the team to bring it out of the mine.
