QUETTA: A coal mine in the Sanjidi area, approximately 40 kilometers from Quetta, collapsed due to gas buildup, resulting in reports of twelve workers being trapped.
According to the spokesperson for the Balochistan government Shahid Rind, rescue teams were immediately dispatched to the site following the incident.
Upon arrival, the teams began a rescue operation to rescue the workers from the collapsed mine.
However, the gas and debris in the mine are making the rescue efforts difficult.
Despite these challenges, rescue personnel are working diligently to save the workers’ lives.
The spokesperson for the Balochistan government further stated that a thorough investigation into the incident will be conducted, and strict action will be taken against those responsible for negligence.
Mineral Resources and Finance Minister Mir Shoaib Nosherwani has taken notice of the incident and instructed the Chief Inspector of Mines, Abdul Ghani Baloch, to send two additional rescue teams to the affected site.
He also ordered an investigation into the alleged violation of standard mining procedures.
