In India, at least 17 individuals lost their lives due to a quarry cave-in.
Seventeen employees passed away, and a dozen others vanished after the disintegration of a quarry in the northeastern region of India. This information was shared by authorities.
The breakdown of the quarry occurred in Melthum, approximately 6 kilometers from the capital of Mizoram, Aizwal. Police officer Rahul Alwal mentioned that rescue units have retrieved the bodies from this site. However, two workers have been extracted safely from the debris.
