Kathmandu, January 20. In a statement released by authorities on Wednesday, the 12 trapped miners have received more medical and food supplies including blankets, bandages and rice porridge. One of the twelve tracked miners has sustained serious head injuries.
Earlier on Monday, the Rescue teams had received a message by trapped miners through a wired telephone that reads ‘12 workers are still alive while the other 10 are in unclear situations”.
Last week on January 10, twenty-two construction workers were trapped underground after an under-construction Hushan gold mine in eastern China exploded.
A team of firefighters are searching the lost miners with a sound detecting system fitted 370 meters underground. More than 300 rescuers have already joined the search. But, due to the hard granite ore body, the process of drill-based extraction is taking time.
According to the authorities, poisonous gasses are being pumped out to create a breathable environment underground.
