Indian army divers retrieved the body of one of at least nine miners trapped inside a flooded coal mine. The miners became trapped on Monday when water gushed in from a nearby unused mine in the Umrangso area. Nearly 100 rescuers from the police, navy, army and the National Disaster Response Force are battling adverse conditions.
