After a rescue operation lasting more than two weeks, the body of a miner was finally recovered on Wednesday at the Umpleng mine accident site in Meghalaya‘s East Jaintia Hills district.

Speaking with EastMojo, East Jaintia Hills deputy commissioner E Kharmalki confirmed that a body was recovered on Wednesday. The second body which was noticed along with the first on Tuesday is likely to be recovered by Thursday, the DC said. #EastMojo #EastStory #NorthEastIndia ***** Subscribe:    / @eastmojoofficial   ***** Visit our website: https://www.eastmojo.com/ Facebook:   / eastmojo   Twitter:   / eastmojo   Instagram:   / east.mojo   *****
