Coal ministry orders probe into Lalmatia mishap
Dumka: Coal minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday constituted a high-power committee to probe the Lalmatia colliery collapse after he was approached by Godda MP Nishikant Dubey in this regard.
"The coal minister has constituted a high power committee to conduct a wider probe into the accident at Lalmatia colliery in Godda after the DGMS gave a clean chit to ECL," Dubey said, adding that he would be accompanying the team to Lalmatia on January 15.
Though five persons still remain missing, Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL) authorities on Mondaycalled off the rescue operation.
"The rescue operation has been halted due to technical reasons. If the rescue operation is continued, there are chances of accidents as there is strata movement on top of the mine," said ECL General Manager (Mining) R.R. Amitabh.
He said, "There are at least five bodies trapped inside the caved-in mine. The rescue operation will be re-started soon."BUsiness Standard
