Two killed in Dhanbad as land caves-in

Dhanbad: Two people were believed to be killed after land caved-in the Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) coal mine area in Dhanbad, reports said on Wednesday.

The incident happened at around 7 am today.

Following a delay in the rescue operation, the locals had some heated arguments with the BCCL administration.

Such accidents are not common in Jharkhand's Dhanbad, which is called as the coal capital of India.

Dhanbad-based BCCL, a Coal India subsidiary, accounts for almost 50 percent of the total prime coking coal requirement of the integrated steel sector.
