Ranchi, Feb 24: The bodies of two Tisco officials missing since Friday in Tata Steel's Jamadoba colliery near Dhanbad in Jharkhand were found on Tuesday while search was continuing for the third person trapped inside the mine.
The bodies of Vishal Mishra and Ajit Singh were found at 1.40 am and 8.00 am respectively, Tisco sources said. The bodies were handed over to their families after the post-mortem, they said. The rescue team searching for the three officials trapped inside the colliery since Friday were able to access the 18th level last evening after the dewatering operations brought the water level down. Meanwhile, the rescue operations are still on to trace the third miner, Bindeshwari Singh, they said. The three employees had entered the 11th seam of the pits six and seven on Friday for inspection when water suddenly gushed through a drill hole in the mine wall, trapping them inside. Bureau Report
