In Jaipur, a team of fifteen members from Hindustan Copper Limited found themselves in a dire situation on Tuesday night. The team had ventured into a mine in Neem ka Thana district, but things took a turn for the worse when the cage they were using to transport themselves fell down the shaft due to a broken rope. It was a terrifying experience for everyone involved, and they were stuck in the mine for hours.
Thankfully, the rescue team was able to successfully retrieve three individuals in the first round and five more in the second round on Wednesday morning. The remaining seven members were expected to be rescued within the next two hours, according to Neem ka Thana Collector Sharad Mehra. It was a huge relief for everyone, especially considering the injuries sustained by the rescued individuals.
Dr Mahendra Singh, a member of the medical team, shared that the three individuals who were rescued earlier had been sent to SMS hospital in Jaipur for treatment. They had suffered fractures and other injuries, but thankfully, they were now receiving the necessary care and attention. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma was closely monitoring the situation and had instructed officials to expedite the relief and rescue operations.
In a statement, he said, "We received information about the accident at Kolihan mine of Hindustan Copper Limited in Khetri, Jhunjhunu. Our priority is the safety and well-being of those affected, and we have instructed officials to provide all necessary help and medical facilities." The incident had caused quite a stir, and a vigilance team, along with senior officials and workers of the state-owned company, had gone into the mine for an inspection.
However, as they were preparing to exit the mine, the rope holding the cage broke, causing it to collapse and trapping the personnel several hundred feet below the surface. It was a harrowing experience, but thankfully, the rescue team was able to retrieve all the individuals safely. This incident serves as a reminder of the risks involved in the mining industry and the importance of safety measures. We hope that all those affected make a speedy recovery.
