Meghalaya: Navy divers to join mine rescue op

After an inexplicable delay of over a fortnight, divers from the Navy have finally been drafted to join the ongoing operations to rescue the ill-fated 15 workers trapped in a flooded “rat-hole” coal mine in Meghalaya since Dec 13. The state and central authorities concerned have faced a lot of criticism for the huge delay in mounting an effective rescue operation.
